    Cannot compile php 5.1.6 under Windows XP using Cygwin

    Hi,

    I'm trying to compile PHP v5.1.6 under Windows XP using cygwin. I get
    the following error when I run ./configure. Can anyone help please?


    $ ./configure

      Suspicious - should say "flex" not "lex".

      What do you get from the command "which lex"? Do you have a shell alias for
      "lex" - e.g. does "alias lex" show an existing alias?

      FYI this is what I get in the same environment:

      [...]
      checking for flex... flex
      checking for yywrap in -lfl... yes
      checking lex output file root... lex.yy
      checking whether yytext is a pointer... yes
      checking for working const... yes
      checking for flex version... 2.5.4 (ok)
      checking whether to force non-PIC code in shared modules... no
      checking for pthreads_cflags ...
      checking for pthreads_lib...

      Configuring SAPI modules
      [... etc., continues as normal.]

          Hey, that worked! Thanks so much! I didn't have flex installed, but
          even when I did install it, "lex" still didn't work, so I just did a
          "alias lex="flex"" and it worked.

          Sorry it took me a while to reply. I've been out of town and just got
          back and chekced messages.

          Thanks again,

          James
