Very strange behavior during the compile with Oracle Studio C99 compiler and I am fairly sure that the compiler has nothing to do with it.

What I see is stage1flex being created in the ./src directory and that is no issue.

Then the next step is :

./stage1flex -o stage1scan.c ./scan.l stage1flex: can't open ./scan.l gmake[2]: [Makefile:1696: stage1scan.c] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/build/flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src' gmake[1]: [Makefile:546: all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/build/flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src' gmake: *** [Makefile:533: all-recursive] Error 1

However the input file certainly exists and I can reproduce manually :

corv $ ls -ladb ./src/scan.l -rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke devl 27707 May 3 2017 ./src/scan.l corv $ corv $ ./src/stage1flex -o /tmp/stage1scan.c ./src/scan.l stage1flex: can't open ./src/scan.l corv $

No idea why that is happening.

corv $ ./src/stage1flex --version stage1flex 2.6.4

Nice but doesn't "work" in a sane way.

Just checked 2.6.3 and 2.6.2 and even 2.6.1 all fail in the same manner. However 2.6.1 is slightly different :

../src/stage1flex -o stage1scan.c stage1scan.l stage1flex: can't open stage1scan.l gmake[2]: [Makefile:1008: stage1scan.c] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/build/flex-2.6.1_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src' gmake[1]: [Makefile:512: all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/build/flex-2.6.1_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src' gmake: *** [Makefile:525: all-recursive] Error 1 corv $

Same problem however.

Does this still happen against the tip of master?

@westes I'm not sure where the cause of the fopen() error is, but I see flex prints a fopen error message without strerror(errno) text, which is a usability bug already.

I have not tried the dev "master" alpha beta code at all. I was just trying the release versions. I guess I could clone the master and then fight with autoconf/autoreconf to get a configure and all that jazz. Would be nice to have this working on ye old POSIX environments.

This path looks sketchy: flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001. Could you rename the directory to just flex and try again?

If that doesn't work, here's a guide to build against the tip of master:

git clone https://github.com/westes/flex.git
cd flex
autoreconf -vif
./configure <configure-flags>
make

Please replace <configure-flags> with your configure flags.

This path looks sketchy: flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001. Could you rename the directory to just flex and try again?

How would that matter in the least?

The tarball is extracted and configure runs and the problem happens a short while later. The path should mean nothing.

Also the sources are : corv $ cd /usr/local/src/ corv $ ls -lo flex* -rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke 2877440 Jan 21 03:56 flex-2.6.0.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke 1446361 May 21 2017 flex-2.6.1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke 1402237 May 24 2017 flex-2.6.2.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke 1405560 May 25 2017 flex-2.6.3.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke 1419096 May 26 2017 flex-2.6.4.tar.gz corv $

So they get extracted and renamed to the various bits out of uname as well as processor class and sequence numbers.

@blastwave It seems that the usability problem I mentioned already has a patch. Could you please apply #305 and try building again, and tell us exactly what "can't open" message you get.

What is this thing? lerr( _( "can't open %s: %s" ), file, strerror(errno)); ? An underscore in front of a string literal? see https://github.com/westes/flex/pull/305/commits/40798aaaf36f7e1cb974e55253bf6bd12732afa8

Sorry .. I get a pile of errors dealing with configure.ac. I guess I have to manually patch 2.6.4.

Well the situation is getting worse here :

"yylex.c", line 154: warning: implicit function declaration: isascii (E_NO_IMPLICIT_DECL_ALLOWED) /bin/bash ../build-aux/ylwrap scan.l lex.yy.c scan.c -- lex
"/usr/local/build/flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src/scan.l":line 124: Error: missing translation value gmake[2]: [Makefile:1425: scan.c] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/build/flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src' gmake[1]: [Makefile:546: all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/build/flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src' gmake: *** [Makefile:533: all-recursive] Error 1

@blastwave It's quite difficult to diagnose a problem like this. You haven't tried building against the master branch, right? Because the patch changes the lexer source file (see the .l extension), that would require you have a copy of flex installed in order to succesfully bootstrap. If you didn't, the situation would be difficult to handle.

I'm not sure if it works to hack scan.c from the 2.6.4 release tarball instead. Patch the equivalent line, with the underscore function removed. (The underscore function means 'gettext', which marks translatable string and tells gettext to get the text from translation files. ./configure --disable-nls can disable the translations and avoid build errors with the translation system.)

building against the master branch?

Yes I did. There is no configure script and the autoconf/reconf process fails with numerous errors. This should be release grade software. It was. Years ago.

Well the situation is getting worse here :

@blastwave Building against master branch has nothing to do with the software being release grade or not. It's about whether you understand the build process, so that we no longer need to explain basic things to you.

You said you did build the master branch but failed at the autoreconf process. The proper report would be showing what error you get in the autoreconf process, or we would assume you can fix that yourself. Since you look like not being able to do either of the above, then I can no longer help you with the problem in this report then.

I downloaded https://github.com/westes/flex/releases/download/v2.6.4/flex-2.6.4.tar.gz And tried to install ./autogen.sh ./configure make While making i got error

During configure i got some warnings

During make i got some warnins

misc.c: In function ‘allocate_array’:

  mem = reallocarray(NULL, (size_t) size, element_size);

misc.c:664:12: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
  new_array = reallocarray(array, (size_t) size, element_size);

I am going to create a clean room here with a new install and then try again. I am not sure what the dependency list is but I will hit that shortly.

@username34 The "implicit declaration of function 'reallocarray'" error is fixed already in master (#241). Try building the master branch or specify 'ac_cv_func_reallocarray=no' 'ac_cv_func_reallocarr=no' as two arguments to ./configure as workaround.

I have no particular interesting in hacking at the "master" branch which is not a release production version. Thanks anyways. I can wait until the bugs get sorted out in a release version. Also where is Will Estes these days? He was always super cool with these sort of things and we could always work them out neatly .. back in the days of a mail list which works. This .. does not work.

I tried to install flex from master branch, simply downloaded zip file flex-master.zip, unziped it, and run common commands, but got error "flex: command not found (i translated it for you from russian to english)"

Time to come back and look at this and figure out a patch that works on a proper release version of flex. The question asked by Will Estes was "Does this still happen against the tip of master?" to which the only answer is "who knows?" because I don't. I can git clone out the flex working code pile and look around but there is no "configure" file and it looks like I need to do some magic with autogen or autoconf and similar to even get that working. So today I will take a look.

So firstly I need to go through the hassle of getting that "working master tip" stuff where I want it to be :

nix$ git clone https://github.com/westes/flex.git Cloning into 'flex'... remote: Enumerating objects: 10753, done. remote: Total 10753 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 10753 Receiving objects: 100% (10753/10753), 3.35 MiB | 20.16 MiB/s, done.

Great .. so now I have the code pile in a gzipped tarball on some server somewhere and from there I can move it around inside the server pile.

c$ gzip -dc ../src/flex_20190205184154.tar.gz | tar -xf - c$ mv flex_20190205184154 flex_20190205184154_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001 c$ cd flex_20190205184154_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001 c$ ls -ab . .mailmap CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md README.md doc src .. .prev-version COPYING THANKS examples tests .git .travis Makefile.am autogen.sh lib tools .gitignore .travis.yml NEWS configure.ac m4 .indent.pro AUTHORS ONEWS control.ac po c$

okay .. so the first hurdle is to get over the whole "configure" stuff.

Well gee ... do we have that ?

Well that is a good thing.

Do we have a configure.ac file ?

We do .. that is a good thing.

I am cooking with POSIX C99 here and Oracle Studio compiler 12.6 which is very standards compliant. Regardless let's see if we can get a configure script created :

c$ c$ which libtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize c$ which automake /usr/local/bin/automake c$ which autoreconf /usr/local/bin/autoreconf c$ which bison no bison in /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/xpg6/bin /usr/xpg4/bin /usr/ccs/bin /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin /sbin /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin c$ which yacc /usr/ccs/bin/yacc c$

Well this stuff should "just work"(tm) :

c$ ./autogen.sh

Oh well ... that is not good.

Looks like bison is needed.

So let's fetch a PRODUCTION RELEASE version of bison and get that going :

This --> https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bison/bison-3.3.2.tar.gz

Released yesterday ! Very cool. The bits are still warm.

I think I may land inside the dependency loop of life becasue flex is needed all over the place and bison will want flex which wants bision which wants flex which ... . . . checking for flex... no checking for lex... lex checking whether lex is flex... no checking lex output file root... lex.yy checking lex library... -ll checking whether yytext is a pointer... no configure: WARNING: bypassing lex because flex is required checking for bison... /usr/ccs/bin/yacc

Well maybe this will work.

Turns out .. yes it does compile but blows up on its own tests. Well maybe I can use the binary in the bison src directory to get flex going?

So I stuff that new bison binary into $HOME/local/bin and add that to the PATH and also set up env var BISON=$HOME/local/bin/bison which we know is untested and may or may not work as intended. Going over the process again I now get configure which tells me that yes new bison was in deed found :

checking how to link with libintl... /usr/local/lib/libintl.so /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -lc -R/usr/local/lib checking for bison... bison -y checking for flex... no checking for lex... lex checking lex output file root... lex.yy checking lex library... -ll checking whether yytext is a pointer... no checking for gcc... (cached) /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) no checking whether /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 accepts -g... (cached) yes checking for /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 option to accept ISO C89... (cached) none needed checking whether /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 understands -c and -o together... (cached) yes checking for gcc... no checking for cc... cc . . .

The process blows up again because while bison has been found there are M4 macro files that are not found :

/usr/local/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: cannot open: No such file or directory

So at this point I will shut down the server and take a filesystem snapshot and then bring it back up and install the previously built bison which is untested. That should create the files needed inside /usr/local/share as well as all the other bits that bison needs. Then try again and if possible get past this bison burp and perhaps even get flex installed and then rebuild bison again as well as some day sqlite-src-3260000 which needs flex. Then roll back that snapshot ( maybe ) and try to get bison fixed and installed and then get a release version of flex.

So there is another few hours of the day for flex .. not a lot of progress yet. Thankfully the bison folks still have a maillist and maybe I can get past the testing burp there : https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-02/msg00010.html

Well I can update this that with fresh bison installed the master code blows up in different ways :

Yeah .. that looks wrong :

/ File created from flex.skl via mkskel.sh /

include "flexdef.h"

const char skel[] = { "/ A lexical scanne",r generated by flex */ "", "", . . .

Looking at the src/skel.c from 2.6.4 really isn't at all like the mess I see from the "master git whatever code stuff" repo :

/ File created from flex.skl via mkskel.sh /

include "flexdef.h"

const char skel[] = { "/ A lexical scanner generated by flex */", "", "", "", "m4_changecom", "m4_changequote", "m4_changequote([[, ]])", "", "", "%not-for-header", "%if-c-only", "%if-not-reentrant", "m4_ifelse(M4_YY_PREFIX,yy,,", "#define yy_create_buffer M4_YY_PREFIX[[_create_buffer]]", "#define yy_delete_buffer M4_YY_PREFIX[[_delete_buffer]]", "#define yy_scan_buffer M4_YY_PREFIX[[_scan_buffer]]", . . .

In fact there are many changes :

c$ diff ../../flex-2.6.4_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001/src/skel.c skel.c | wc -l 4521 c$

also the editor for "github" is trash.

OKay so the skel.c from 2.6.4 compiles clean :

c$ $CC $CFLAGS -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. \

-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" \ -I/usr/local/include \ -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_EMANTICS -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_TS_ERRNO \ -c -o flex-skel.o skel.c c$

Not sure how to use that ... but the master tip github stuff is a disaster for this source file.

Right so .. went back to take another look at the 2.6.4 release and the new bison bits don't help here and it is broken and so is master .. over to you guys.

For a step by step bootstrapping of flex, you can look at .travis.yml and the scripts it references in the .travis/ subdirectory. That's for ubuntu, to be sure, but it shows you how to build flex from just the git tree. The key point is that the script autogen.sh does all the work to get configure up and running, but you'll want to make sure you have packages installed for some of flex's build tools. There are more generic notes in the README as well which you might find of some use.

Time to come back and look at this and figure out a patch that works on a proper release version of flex. The question asked by Will Estes was "Does this still happen against the tip of master?" to which the only answer is "who knows?" because I don't. I can git clone out the flex working code pile and look around but there is no "configure" file and it looks like I need to do some magic with autogen or autoconf and similar to even get that working. So today I will take a look.

So firstly I need to go through the hassle of getting that "working master tip" stuff where I want it to be :

Great .. so now I have the code pile in a gzipped tarball on some server somewhere and from there I can move it around inside the server pile.

c$ gzip -dc ../src/flex_20190205184154.tar.gz | tar -xf - c$ mv flex_20190205184154 flex_20190205184154_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001 c$ cd flex_20190205184154_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.001 c$ ls -ab . .mailmap CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md README.md doc src .. .prev-version COPYING THANKS examples tests .git .travis Makefile.am autogen.sh lib tools .gitignore .travis.yml NEWS configure.ac m4 .indent.pro AUTHORS ONEWS control.ac po c$

okay .. so the first hurdle is to get over the whole "configure" stuff.

Well gee ... do we have that ?

Well that is a good thing.

Do we have a configure.ac file ?

We do .. that is a good thing.

I am cooking with POSIX C99 here and Oracle Studio compiler 12.6 which is very standards compliant. Regardless let's see if we can get a configure script created :

c$ c$ which libtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize c$ which automake /usr/local/bin/automake c$ which autoreconf /usr/local/bin/autoreconf c$ which bison no bison in /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/xpg6/bin /usr/xpg4/bin /usr/ccs/bin /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin /sbin /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin c$ which yacc /usr/ccs/bin/yacc c$

Well this stuff should "just work"(tm) :

c$ ./autogen.sh

Oh well ... that is not good.

Looks like bison is needed.

So let's fetch a PRODUCTION RELEASE version of bison and get that going :

This --> https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bison/bison-3.3.2.tar.gz

Released yesterday ! Very cool. The bits are still warm.

I think I may land inside the dependency loop of life becasue flex is needed all over the place and bison will want flex which wants bision which wants flex which ... .. . .. checking for flex... no checking for lex... lex checking whether lex is flex... no checking lex output file root... lex.yy checking lex library... -ll checking whether yytext is a pointer... no configure: WARNING: bypassing lex because flex is required checking for bison... /usr/ccs/bin/yacc

Well maybe this will work.

Turns out .. yes it does compile but blows up on its own tests. Well maybe I can use the binary in the bison src directory to get flex going?

So I stuff that new bison binary into $HOME/local/bin and add that to the PATH and also set up env var BISON=$HOME/local/bin/bison which we know is untested and may or may not work as intended. Going over the process again I now get configure which tells me that yes new bison was in deed found :

checking how to link with libintl... /usr/local/lib/libintl.so /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -lc -R/usr/local/lib checking for bison... bison -y checking for flex... no checking for lex... lex checking lex output file root... lex.yy checking lex library... -ll checking whether yytext is a pointer... no checking for gcc... (cached) /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) no checking whether /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 accepts -g... (cached) yes checking for /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 option to accept ISO C89... (cached) none needed checking whether /opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99 understands -c and -o together... (cached) yes checking for gcc... no checking for cc... cc .. . ..

The process blows up again because while bison has been found there are M4 macro files that are not found :

/usr/local/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: cannot open: No such file or directory

So at this point I will shut down the server and take a filesystem snapshot and then bring it back up and install the previously built bison which is untested. That should create the files needed inside /usr/local/share as well as all the other bits that bison needs. Then try again and if possible get past this bison burp and perhaps even get flex installed and then rebuild bison again as well as some day sqlite-src-3260000 which needs flex. Then roll back that snapshot ( maybe ) and try to get bison fixed and installed and then get a release version of flex.

So there is another few hours of the day for flex .. not a lot of progress yet. Thankfully the bison folks still have a maillist and maybe I can get past the testing burp there : https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-02/msg00010.html

That is a surprise because #include is in yylex.c but that us just a warning what is not a warning would be /bin/bash ../build-aux/ylwrap scan.l lex.yy.c scan.c -- lex blowing up.

Sorry Will but I am not new to bootstrapping software from out of the grave to the dance floor. I think I have ALL the pre-requisites and what we have here is code problems and not pre-requisites.

Is there any update regarding this issue? I am having the same errors mentioned here. skel.c raises a lot of errors!

Can you provide the skel.c errors?

The original issue is an error with stage1flex not able to open scan.l. It can be easily debugged by applying the patch mentioned above - https://github.com/westes/flex/pull/305/files - to src/scan.c in the 2.6.4 tarball instead of src/scan.l. The patch should help identify the cause of the fopen failure.

My guess is it's some sort of path limit on OP's system but again not difficult to troubleshoot without messing with autoconf

I received your email about this. Then did hunt and peck to find this stupid github 'issue' page. Get a real bug tracker. Maybe bugzilla or Atlassian Jira are both nice. Regardless I have not looked at this or thought about it in months. Just is not on my radar at all. Is Will Estes not around these days?

I did a pull of the current master and got no where with autogen

beta $ ./autogen.sh libtoolize (GNU libtool) 2.4.6 Written by Gary V. Vaughan gary@gnu.org, 2003

that is odd

No need to try master - just make the 1-line change to src/scan.c in the 2.6.4 release tarball - then simple configure and make to see the cause of the fopen error

This is saying that you've got an old gettext. There's a patch in one of the pr's to lower the requirements, which you might try applying (or just lower it to whatever you actually have installed). When I get to working on flex, that will go in, although I will be testing gettext 0.20.1, because it might have a feature that we'd all find helpful. But for now, you'd be fine just lowering the required version in your personal tree.

Sir Will Estes, very good to see your name! Well actually I have gettext 0.20 installed but am doing a build and test of 0.20.1 right now. Then I will circle back and snag the release tarbal, do the one line change and give it all a go. Will follow up shortly.

Well this went sideways fast. Firstly the one line change is not on line 1045 but actually 1038

Yes - that's expected - now we know why fopen fails - it's due to errno being EFAULT shown as "Bad address"

The relevant lines from scan.c are 5219-5223:

infilename = xstrdup(file);
yyin = fopen( infilename, "r" );

if ( yyin == NULL )
  lerr( _( "can't open %s: %s" ), file, strerror(errno));
}

The error is not with fopen but with xstrdup which is returning a bad pointer - xstrdup from src/misc.c is a thin wrapper for strdup - this could happen if the pointer returned by strdup somehow got mangled along the way e.g. if it were interpreted as int due to missing prototypes - I don't see that happening - or it could be due to a binary incompatibility between objects compiled with different options or different versions of the compiler

It could be a compiler bug - is your compiler up to date in patches?

Probably time to fire up a debugger at this point and look at the pointer

I notice couple things about your compile line - have you tried using cc instead of c99 to invoke the compiler?

Also the -xcode=pic32 option seems misplaced given this doc https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19205-01/819-5265/bjatt/index.html that says to not use it to build executables like stage1flex

I will give this a try with ordinary cc and the -xcode=pic32 is correct for shared libs.

For the sake of being pedantic. Which I don't like doing. When building shared dynamic libraries, the default -xcode values of abs44 and abs32 will not work with 64–bit architectures. Specify -xcode=pic13 or -xcode=pic32 instead. There are two nominal performance costs with– xcode=pic13 and– xcode=pic32 on SPARC.

A routine compiled with either– xcode=pic13 or– xcode=pic32 executes a few extra
instructions upon entry to set a register to point at a table (_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_) used
for accessing a shared library’s global or static variables.

So I have no idea how to do special secret format stuff with github's trash system so I will just copy and paste this here :

Each access to a global or static variable involves an extra indirect memory reference through
 _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. If the compilation include -xcode=pic32, there are two additional
instructions per global and static memory reference.

When considering the above costs, remember that the use of -xcode=pic13 and -xcode=pic32 
can significantly reduce system memory requirements, due to the effect of library code sharing.
 Every page of code in a shared library compiled -xcode=pic13 or– xcode=pic32 can be shared by
 every process that uses the library. If a page of code in a shared library contains even a single 
non-pic (that is, absolute) memory reference, the page becomes nonsharable, and a copy of the
 page must be created each time a program using the library is executed.

Regardless, the use of -xcode=pic32 would be correct for shared lib code.

stage1flex is an executable - not a shared library

Lovely. I am still leaving -xcode=pic32 in place.

Well compile went fine with -std=iso9899:2011 wherein the only thing of interest was a few utterances of :

/opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -I/usr/local/include -D_TS_ERRNO

Then gmake check fails due to a problem with CXXFLAGS which are not set at all. I didn't see any C++ in there but I guess there is.

I think the real issue is with trying a 64-bit build on Solaris. I'm pretty sure the default 32-bit build will work with c99 or cc without modification. Whatever you did to configure a 64-bit build with c99 leads to a binary inconsistency between compiled code and runtime libraries. Most likely the EFAULT is due to a 32-bit pointer being used as a 64-bit pointer.

 --> Most likely the EFAULT is due to a 32-bit...

Nope. That isn't the problem.

Tried out a 64-bit build on Sun

$c99 -V
c99: Sun C 5.12 SunOS_sparc Patch 148917-07 2013/10/18
$uname -a
SunOS aaa 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc sun4v Solaris

Got the error:

./stage1flex   -o stage1scan.c flex-2.6.4/src/scan.l
stage1flex: can't open flex-2.6.4/src/scan.l
make[2]: *** [stage1scan.c] Error 1

The problem is apparent right away - a missing prototype for strdup

source='misc.c' object='flex-misc.o' libtool=no DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/sh flex-2.6.4/build-aux/depcomp c99 -m64 -c -o flex-misc.o `test -f 'misc.c' || echo 'flex-2.6.4/src/'`misc.c
"flex-2.6.4/src/misc.c", line 228: warning: implicit function declaration: strdup

strdup returns a 32-bit int instead of a 64-bit char * causing the EFAULT

This happens because c99 defines _STRICT_STDC causing the correct prototype to be skipped from /usr/include/string.h

#if defined(__EXTENSIONS__) || \
        (!defined(_STRICT_STDC) && !defined(__XOPEN_OR_POSIX)) || \
        defined(_XPG4_2)
extern char *strdup(const char *);
#endif

Tried master - got even more issues - some mentioned above

First of all automake 1.15 is needed - so built that

$./autogen.sh
configure.ac:33: error: require Automake 1.15, but have 1.14.1
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Then there is a bad src/mkskel.sh in master that generates this mangled line in skel.c

const char *skel[] = {
  "/* A lexical scanne",r generated by flex */

Fixed mkskel.sh with https://github.com/westes/flex/pull/353/files - this really ought to be in master by now

That resulted in a good build - the missing strdup prototype was fixed in master with https://github.com/westes/flex/commit/24fd0551333e7eded87b64dd36062da3df2f6380 since AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS defines __EXTENSIONS__ on Solaris
