From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-ports@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk * /usr/ports/devel/flex >make * Checksums OK. * ===> Configuring for flex-2.5.3 * . * .. * README : * configure: error: missing argument to -- * *** Error code 1 There's something definitely weird about your setup. It should look like this here: ======= ===> Configuring for flex-2.5.3 creating cache ./config.cache checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for bison... no checking for byacc... byacc checking for gcc... cc checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c -o bin -g bin checking whether make sets $MAKE... yes checking for working const... yes ======= Note it doesn't do any directory listing. (This is -current built yesterday.) Could it be that you have something in your PATH that configure is picking up? The script itself is run as "./configure" so there shouldn't be any confusion there.
