Ok, the details are:

checking for flex... flex
checking whether flex is recent enough... no
configure: error: Your flex version is too old. Please install flex version 2.5.33 or newer.

So I guess you build a newer version of flex in order to build a newer
version of wine, right ?

I have been playing with the idea myself to have a separate 'build'
repository in RPMforge that replaces a few of the 'older' buildtools. It
would allow us to rebuild some software without pulling new requirements
that replace base packages.

(flex and make come to mind, there were a few others)

It could be:

       .rf.    rpmforge stable
       .rfb.   rpmforge buildtools
       .rft.   rpmforge testing

What do people think ?

It required a newer flex version to build. I took the fedora 7 version, which is new enough and it installs on centos 5.5 without complaining for dependencies. If you do some patching to the official version, it also requires a newer autoconf version.

Also for instalation it requires nss-mdns package, which i got from ATrpms.
