Trying to compile Wine 1.6 on FreeBSD 9.1

[.-083]

I've a problem: wineinstall says my flex version is very old and asks me to install 2.5.33, but wineinstall is wrong, my flex version is 2.5.37.
What should i do?
Thanks.

Report it to the FreeBSD maintainers. "wineinstall" is not maintained by Wine.

Good luck with that: they usually blame the user for every problem that exists.

.-083: I don't use FreeBSD or wineinstall, so I can't be of much help beyond the general suggestion to run ./configure and if you get the same error message, check the log.

Ok, but i was getting the error even when manually running ./configure.

I'm new to FreeBSD, asked for help a pair of times in the official forums and they 're nice people.

It was a FreeBSD bug i managed to resolve myself... Looks like the pkg tools (pkg_add, pkg_delete) are unable the flex version that comes with the base system, so you can either remove or update the package with these tools... To properly update flex you must first:
rm /usr/local/bin/flex
And then use pkg_add to install the new version.
I've finally installed Wine 1.6 from source without any other problems, and its running perfectly

Thank to both of you.
