Fwd: Re: [ltp] can't compile iasl (the DSDT tool)

[Jack]

Not sure if I can actually respond to this, but its worth a shot.
Basically, I ran into the same problem, and follwed the person's advice, 
and it worked great.

You just need to make sure you make clean before you try make again.

Hope this helps.

bison a=
nd flex have been too modern for the iasl compilation. Don't worry, the old=
  Woody-versions of the packages are still available. Install the 
packages: =
bison-1.35 (version 1.35) and flex-old (version 2.5.4).

Sorry, got the same failure:

cc -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -D_LINUX -D_ACPI_ASL_COMPILER
-I../include    -c -o aslcompilerlex.o aslcompilerlex.c
aslcompiler.l: In Funktion =BBcomment=AB:
aslcompiler.l:837: error: `yytext_ptr' undeclared (first use in this
function)
aslcompiler.l:837: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once
aslcompiler.l:837: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [aslcompilerlex.o] Fehler 1

Did You manage to compile with flex-old and bison-1.35 and the handy
bits in the Makefile ?
