flex build (Was: build fails on read-only /usr/src)

[Geoff Wing <gcw%pobox.com@localhost>]

On Monday 2009-10-26 12:19 +1000, George Michaelson output:
:echo '#include <initscan.c>' >/usr/src/external/bsd/flex/dist/scan.c
:sh: cannot create /usr/src/external/bsd/flex/dist/scan.c: read-only
:file system

:I have invoked

:looks like somebody has modified src state, in a way which demands a
:write in /usr/src which hasn't been OBJified

It is src/tools/lex/Makefile - you need to remove the scan.c rule.

Then, in src/external/bsd/flex/dist/ you need to fix: gen.c, misc.c,
scanopt.c, and tables.c

Or you can just "cvs update" since Christos has reversed it for now.
