Well, only if the source dependency for the various lexers has changed (eg. recently with the "The GIMP" -> "GIMP" global replacement). A rebuilt version of the relevant generated files should probably also be updated into SVN before release.

Currently, flex version 2.5.33 or higher seems to be required to successfully generate the needed files.

As far as I can see, updated versions of the generated files have been committed to SVN. What exactly is your problem?

Don't know. I just did the standard './autogen.sh;make' after running 'svn update' and make eventually crashed with the mentioned messages. I hadn't modified any files and as far as the server could tell me, my copy was up to date. (I've checked this again, just now, and no relevant files were updated)

Maybe it's an obscure bug in Subversion (my client is v1.3.1); In any case, I *DID* require flex 2.5.33 in order for the 'make' command to successfully complete.

Well, you didn't mention the message yet. That's why I asked you to describe the problem in more detail.

Something has gone badly wrong. I did quote them.. I may have even quoted them twice.
I don't have a copy of the errors saved, but this is what happened roughly:

1. 'make' runs. Eventually it reaches the imagemap plugin directory. 2. imap_csim.l is used to generate imap_csim_(parse|lex).[ch] with flex. 3. Either imap_csim_parse.c or imap_csim_lex.c is complained about by the compiler:

:1839: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_get_lineno' :1848: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_get_in' :1856: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_get_out' :1864: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_get_leng' :1873: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_get_text' :1882: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_set_lineno' :1894: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_set_in' :1899: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_set_out' :1904: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_get_debug' :1909: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_set_debug' :1943: warning: no previous prototype for 'csim_lex_destroy' :1347: warning: 'yyunput' defined but not used

(In fact, these messages still occur even when building proceeds successfully. By themselves they are probably not significant.)

Similar messages also appear for imap_cern

4. Compilation continues. At link time, the linker complains of unresolved references to symbols, which all are csim_* functions.

I cannot reproduce this #4 any more, not even if I downgrade flex to 2.5.31. It just happily links. Maybe the version of flex provided by synaptic was glitched.
