I've finally been able to get the nethack level compiler to work
with Xenix/286. The fix is simple: generate the lexer with flex
rather than lex.
There seems to be a bug in the lexical analyser generated by lex.
Since I got around the problem, I'm not likely to investigate it
further.
If any of you are still having trouble compiling nethack on a '286,
drop me a line and I'll see how I can help.

I have always used Flex when i am compiling Nethack 3. I fail to see
how that is the solution. I do know that prior to patch 3, lev_comp
failed to produce an output file, and with the level 3 patches it
dumps core. I am using Flex 2 what was posted to the net recently.

Ok, calm down and we'll see whats going on. First off, I'm using using nethack 3.0 patchlevel 3, the beta release of flex 2.11, and SCO Xenix/286 2.2.3. It works fine. Well, actually, you have to cast the yyleng macro to int; otherwise you get "conversion of long address to a short address" errors and lev_comp won't work. I did it in flex.skel just to be done with it once and for good. >-If any of you are still having trouble compiling nethack on a '286, >-drop me a line and I'll see how I can help. > >Ok i dropped the line. Now what? > I'd try flex 2.11 if you can get a hold of it. It's availiable at a whole lot of archive sites. If you can't get a copy, or it still doesn't work send email and I'll try to help. --jtc -- J.T. Conklin ...!{ubc-cs,uunet}!van-bc!tessera!jtc
