2.12. lexx (flex)

Flex is a free implementation of lexx.

2.12.1. UNIX: flex

Flex is available for most of the UNIX-like platforms and as the flex package from the Cygwin setup.

If GNU flex isn't already installed and also not available as a package for your platform, you can get it at: http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/.

After correct installation, typing inside the bash:

$ flex --version

should result in something like:

flex version 2.5.4
	

However, the version string may vary.

2.12.2. Win32 native: flex

A native Win32 lexx/flex package can be obtained from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/. The installation should be straightforward.
