How can I use flex on windows?

bison, flex-lexer

Solution

Have you tried http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/flex.htm ?

Problem

I'm trying to compile a project on windows and it uses flex/bison. Compiling the flex and bison files went fine after I installed MinGW, but when I get to the final step of the build of: ``` g++ -o hexciting CommandParser.tab.o CommandParser.yy.o Command.o -lfl ``` It says the library can't be found. After some time on google, I tried changing the flag to -llibfl.a, but this library was also unable to be found. How can I either get a copy of this library or build one myself?
