[comp.lang.c] Flex compilation still unsuccessfull

wsinpp@lso.win.tue.nl (Peter Peters) (06/26/89)

Hi there!

First of all thanks to those who tried to help me out on my
first quest of getting Flex to compile on my pc. Sorry guys
it didn't work out. So i tried to switch to QC, with very no
different result (it did compile, but still strange memory
or stack error messages). So here's a new call for help...

I got the newest version of flex (lately on comp.sources.unix)
and started out with QC to compile the package after making
a flex.mak file with QC.

  - an error message about redefining memset() appeared
    I commented out memset() /* supposedly only needed for VAX-VMS */

after that i looked into the flex.mak file and found out that
the medium memory model is assumed when "flex.mak" is generated
by QC. So i edited it by hand to option -AL and started a 
"make flex.mak".

  - the next error message appeared :


    scan.l(296) : warning C4060: conversion of long address to short address
    scan.l(296) : warning C4060: conversion of long address to short address
    scan.l(457) : fatal error C1059: out of near heap space
    flex.mak(46) : fatal error U1013: 'qcl -c -DMS_DOS
                                        -DSYS_V -W1 -Ze -Zid -Zr
                                         -AL scan.c' : error 2

(I split up the last error line myself because it was too long)
Before i forget too tell you, i converted all files from unix -> MSDOS
by changing <lf> to <cr><lf> but i didn't see anything strange happen,
nor did QC complain (it did when i hadn't converted the files..., thought
they were binaries :-))

Well I think that should be enough info, I'm really stuck now so any
good advice would be appreciated...
