I didn't know Flex was using Bison. AFAIR, years ago it was on
top of itself. Did you start from a tarball of Flex? It should
not require flex. Likewise for Bison: you were starting from git,
not from a tarball; it is more demanding in this context.

Can't you get Flex from your distro?

Yup.

That's weird. What "git status" noticing any difference?

Yes. INSTALL is not for people pulling the git repo, but running
the tarball. README-hacking is for people working from the repo.

Nope, it's standard for GNU projects.

Ok.

I wonder what happened here. Please, run "make V=1 src/scan-code.c".
It should show what command was actually run.
Cheers!
