Hi,
I encountered the following error message with latest xen-unstable.
My flex version is 2.5.4.

I haven''t double-checked exactly which version is needed, but 2.5.4
was released by the FSF in *SEPTEMBER 1996*. The --header-file option
was introduced in 2.5.19 released in September 2002.
We don''t support Python 2.2 any more and Python 2.2.3, the last
release of Python 2.2, was released in May 2003.
So to be perfectly honest, I think it''s fair enough to expect people
to have a newer version of flex. What on earth is Masaki running ??
However, it''s easy enough to check in the generated files. Patch
attached.

I''m using them. # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) # python -V Python 2.4.3 Best regards, Kan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

A question: in what cases does one need to re-generate the stuff, and thus have newer flex than in RHEL5/CentOS5? Is newer python required aswell, or only flex?

If only building the tree you do not need flex. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
