postgresql/config/programs.m4
Peter Eisentraut f03fc94e7d New configure test for flex, which recognizes only flex but does so in all
incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.

Without Flex you won't be able to build PostgreSQL from scratch, or change
any of the scanner definition files. You can obtain Flex from a GNU mirror
site. (If you are using the official distribution of PostgreSQL then you
do not need to worry about this because the lexer files are pre-generated.)
