AM_PROG_LEX ?

[Philip M. Galea]

I've added the AM_PROG_LEX into the configure.in but I'm still having problems.  The configuration.in looks like so :

dnl without this order in this file, autoconf will not work!
dnl the argument is a source file out of your sources. But
dnl acinclude.m4 makes the job for all programs ;-)
AC_INIT(acinclude.m4)

dnl without this order in this file, automake will be confused!
dnl the argument 
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)

dnl insert here your program name and version number
AC_PROG_CC
KDE_DO_IT_ALL(avns,0.1)

dnl in this space add everything you want to check for
dnl examples are specific headers, libraries, etc.
dnl everything to compile and run a KDE program is already checked

dnl add here all your Makefiles. This are created by configure
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile avns/Makefile avns/docs/Makefile avns/docs/en/Makefile )


AM_PROG_LEX




However when I make the project it does this:

*** failed ***
cd .. && automake --gnu avns/Makefile
cd .. && perl automoc avns/Makefile.in

/bin/sh: LEX@: command not found

I can't seem to find where this LEX is defined?  (I'm looking for LEX=lex or LEX=flex)

Thanks

Well, just that: add the string AM_PROG_LEX to the file configure.in
in your project :-)

For other macros, the best source of information are the autoconf
and automake info pages.
