configure: error: cannot find output from flex; giving up #640

Hi, I'm trying to build using the the following parameters: ../build --mode=gcc-12.2.0 --arch='x86_64' --exceptions=seh --threads=win32 --buildroot="C:/mingw-multilib"

Build is not getting past the configure stage, failing with the following error: checking for flex... flex checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from flex; giving up

My MSYS2 output is as follows:

<
MSYS /c/Git/mingw-builds/mingw-builds/scripts
$ ../build --mode=gcc-12.2.0 --arch='x86_64' --exceptions=seh --threads=win32 --buildroot="C:/mingw-multilib"

I have attached configure.log.

I had a look for others with similar issues but did not come across a solution that worked for me. This post suggests an issue with the gmp configuration?

Any ideas what the issue might be? Thanks. configure.log

it looks like some antivirus sw is preventing flex creating the output file...
