XHPAST Development Builds

To develop XHPAST, you need to install flex and bison. These install out of most package systems, with the caveat that you need flex 2.3.35 (which is NEWER than flex 2.3.4) and some package systems don't have it yet. If this is the case for you, you can grab the source here:

http://flex.sourceforge.net/

When building, run make scanner parser all instead of make to build the entire toolchain. By default the scanner and parser are not rebuild, to avoid requiring normal users to install flex and bison.
