Hello,

The version check fails on FreeBSD 8 even tho flex-2.5.35_3 is
installed from ports.

# flex --version
flex version 2.5.4

The version check passes on Linux and OpenSolaris but FreeBSD has a
harder time with it.

Gerald has a workaround for this.. Shall I call it a bug? since a
newer version is actually installed but the version check fails.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/wine/Makefile?rev=1.320;content-type=text%2Fplain

But if you download the Wine source and try to compile your out of
luck unless you remove the version check from configure, which is what
Ive done as a temporary fix.
