Description

« Hide

The path to flex in src/Makefile is hard coded to /usr/local/bin/flex. As a result compiling mod_python will fail on many systems.

The path and version of flex should be handled by the configure script. The fix is fairly simple and I will attach a patch when I've done a bit more testing.

Patch adds flex path and version detection to configure.in. The configure script will need to be regenerated using autoconf.
Diff was generated using svn diff.
Changes were made to README, configure.in, src.Makefile.in and Doc/modpython2.tex

Support for flex detection has now been committed, including documentation. This issue can be closed.
