I did not use flexlib.lib with DJGPP programs, In MSVC5.0 I linked
flexlib.lib with parser.c and lexer.c generated by flex 2.54 and bison
1.25.
I have been used MSVC5.0 on Windows NT.

To get lexer and parser source for my grammer I used flex and bison
executables downloaded from gnu djgpp site.
When I build a parser in MSVC 5.0, I can get following errors
--------------------Configuration: test - Win32
Debug--------------------
Linking...
lexyy.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _yywrap
test_tab.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _yyerror
WinDebug/test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

test.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

But If I link flexlib.lib for flex2.47 with parser generated by flex2.54

and
bison1.25,
generated parser program are compiled correctly and works fine  with
only one
warning as follows.

--------------------Configuration: test - Win32
Debug--------------------
Linking...
LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other
libs;
use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

test.exe - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could I ignore this warning?

You mean that I can also use libfl.a in MSVC5.0?
Even if I linked libfl.a in MSVC5.0, above errors are also same..

Now, I hope to compile and link  parser generated by flex 2.54 and bison

1.25
in MSVC 5.0,
and afterwards I will use watcom 11.0a compiler with STL and parser
generated
by flexbison.
Surely I think that I need flex library for MSVC and Watcom 11.0a.


I hope to get your helps,
