lex is a lexical analyser generator, which takes a definition of a
language to be understood, and generates very efficient C code to
understand that language. It's used extensively by dosemu so you will
need to install it on your system.

The package you want is called flex rather than lex and you want
whatever the latest flex*.deb package is. I don't yet use Debian so I'm
not au fait with the version numbers.

Best wishes from Riley.
