I ran into this as well. At least for me the reason was that I did not have flex installed on my Solaris 8 build machine. So there are actually two problems:

1. what the reporter described: if the core component, umbrello, is not to be built because of unfulfilled dependencies, make should not say "Good - your configure finished. Start make now". Instead it should abort with a reasonable error message.

2. flex seems to be a required build dependency. If that is correct, there should be 1) a note in the README or INSTALL file and additionally on the homepage (compile how-to) and 2) configure should stop (again, with a reasonable error message) when flex (i.e. FlexLexer.h) cannot be found.
