I'm using flex (lexical analyzer, not Adobe Flex) on a project. However, I want to be able to compile on Windows platforms as well, but the Windows version's newest version is only 2.5.4a, so it won't compile my file for version 2.5.35. And no, I can't downgrade to the highest supported Windows version.

Anyone know about plans to upgrade the windows version, or have a suggestion to compile on windows anyway?

I can't figure this one out. I can download a win32 binary of flex 2.5.4a from gnuwin32, but I'd like to build the latest version (2.5.35) using Visual Studio 2005. I suppose I could build in in cygwin, but where is the fun in that? http://flex.sourceforge.net/ >>> More
