-This file gives information regarding the cvs tree of flex. The cvs
-tree of flex contains the files which are under version control by
-the flex maintainers for the flex project.
-
-You can learn about the details of retrieving a copy of the cvs flex
-tree from flex's SourceForge project page at:
-
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/flex
-
-If you are not interested in flex development or you are not in need
-of the latest bleeding-edge features, then the cvs flex tree is
-not for you.
-
-When you get a distribution of flex, a large number of intermediate
-files needed to make building flex easy are included. You don't have
-that in the cvs tree.
-
-You will need various external tools in order to build the distribution. Here is
-a (hopefully complete and correct) list of the required tools. Always get the latest
-version of each tool; we list the versions used in development of
-flex, but the listed versions may not work for you.
-
-compiler suite; e.g., gcc
-bash or some other fairly robust sh-style shell
-GNU bison; to generate parse.c from parse.y
-GNU m4 1.4; required by GNU autoconf (yes, it *must* be GNU m4)
-GNU autoconf 2.59 and GNU automake 1.9.6; for generating Makefiles etc.
-GNU gettext 0.14.5; for i18n
-flex (latest beta release); for bootstrap of scan.l
-help2man 1.36; to generate the flex man page
-tar, gzip, etc.; for packaging of the source distribution
-GNU texinfo 4.8; to build and test the flex manual
-perl; GNU automake and GNU autoconf now depend on perl to run
-GNU indent 2.8; for indenting the flex source the way we want it done
-
-Once you have all the necessary tools installed, life becomes
-simple. To prepare the flex tree for building, run the script:
-
-$ ./autogen.sh
-
-in the top level of the flex source tree.
-This script calls the various tools needed to get flex ready for the
-GNU-style configure script to be able to work.
-
-From this point on, building flex follows the usual configure, make,
-make install routine.
