problems compiling iasl on debian sarge

[widolo87 <widolo87-LWAfsSFWpa4@public.gmane.org>]

Hello.

I hope that my question is right on this list...


I just downloaded acpica-unix-20050624.tar.gz from
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm to fix the
acpi implementation of my new laptop and tried to compile iasl.


Running make in the compiler directory results in

--snip--
cc -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -D_LINUX -DACPI_ASL_COMPILER \
	-I../include    -c -o aslcompilerlex.o aslcompilerlex.c

aslcompiler.l: In function `comment':
aslcompiler.l:847: error: `yytext_ptr' undeclared (first use in this  \
	function)
aslcompiler.l:847: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only \
	once
aslcompiler.l:847: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [aslcompilerlex.o] Error 1
--snap--
(gcc-3.3.5, flex 2.5.31, bison 1.875d)

Unfortunately I have no idea of bison and of what's going on in this
source code.


I would be glad to receive any assistance.


All the best,


Maximilian Mehnert
