* Roland Stigge [Sat, 07 Aug 2004 22:18:45 +0200]:

trying to build the package, I got:

./flex++-3.0.2/flex++ -8 -p -S./pars/flexskel.cc -H./pars/flexskel.h \
-o./d.l.c -h./d.l.h ./d.l
make[1]: ./flex++-3.0.2/flex++: Command not found

# dpkg-source -x tela_2.0-7.dsc && cd tela-2.0
# ./debian/rules configure
# make --debug=b d.l.o
Prerequisite `def.H' is newer than target `d.l.c'.
Prerequisite `error.H' is newer than target `d.l.c'.
Must remake target `d.l.c'.

def.H and error.H have newer timestamps since they are changed in the
debian diff.

the attached one-char patch to debian/rules solves the problem, which
only arises (I guess) on systems where timestamps are mucho more
accurate. for that reason, *I* would downgrade the severity of this
bug.

(BTW, the "whitespace-in-comment change in y.l.[ch]" hack can be
removed if the patch is applied.)

p.s.: to the maintainer: while you're at it, could you change the

(cd flex++-3.0.2; make clean; rm -f flex++)

line in the Makefile to something that would enter an infinite make
loop if flex++-3.0.2 does not exist? I got badly bit by it. :-(
Something like:

(cd flex++-3.0.2 && make clean; rm -f flex++)


thanks,
