Subject: Re: [Bug 51209] koffice requires libfl but configure doesn't check that

While reading the info page of automake, I have found the solution.
( info:/autoconf/Particular Programs )

It is to automake to decide which library is needed whetver the flex one =
or=20
the lex one. ( AC_PROG_LEX )

So the -lfl should be removed also from the KOFFICE_1_2_BRANCH, if it is =
not=20
done already. (Can anybody do it?)

And now I also understand why KDEPIM using bison directly is bad. The rea=
son=20
is that automake has a check for yacc too. ( AC_PROG_YACC ) So perhaps th=
e=20
future Latex import filter should use yacc too for wider compactibility,=20
especially with non-GNU systems.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
