Hi,
flex.exe is not generated at compile time, but flex.exe has to be used
to generate those *flex*.c files during compilation, like
show_help_lex.c (a.k.a the flex-generated code).
The windows binary of flex on sourceforge doesn't fit the requirement of
Open MPI, it has some missing features. That's why we have to compile a
new flex.exe for Windows, and put it in the source tree.
Regards,
Shiqing

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if it is generated at -compile- time, then how
did it get in the 1.4.1 tarball?

Hi,
No, that's not true, we did ship the flex-generated code a time ago, but as
that part of code changes sometimes, we decided to generate it during
compilation time, and the flex.exe came with the first support of Windows
(CMake).

Don't we ship the flex-generated code in the tarball anyway? If so, why do we
ship flex.exe?

I have to agree with the two requests here. Having either a windows tarball or
a windows build tools tarball doesn't seem too burdensom, and could even be
done automatically at make dist time.

I understand this file might be required for building on windows,
since I'm not I can just delete the file without issue.
However, for those of us under import restrictions, where binaries are
not allowed in, this file causes me to open the tarball and delete the
file (not a big deal, i know, i know).
But, can I put up a vote for a pure source only tree?
I'm very much in favor of that since we can't ship this binary in
Debian. We'd have to delete it from the tarball and repack it with every
release which is quite cumbersome. If these tools could be shipped in a
separate tarball that would be great!
Best regards
