It seems that libfl is the support library. So you generate code for the parser with flex and this parser code needs libfl. That is the theory. I have looked into the file kdelibs/dcop/scanner.ll . It uses %option noyywrap which might be the reason why libfl is not needed. ( man:/flex tells that you need libfl if you are not using %option noyywrap and not defining a yywrap . However the man page does not tell that you do not need libfl if you use this option or if you define a yywrap .) In any case, it seems that in the current KWord's Latex import filter the flex part is not compiled at all. So may be libfl support is needed in future for KOffice CVS but is linking to libfl really useful for KOffice 1.2.x? Have a nice day/evening/night!
