CMake/Modules/FindFLEX.cmake

# - Find flex executable and provides a macro to generate custom build rules
#
# The module defines the following variables:
#  FLEX_FOUND - true is flex executable is found
#  FLEX_EXECUTABLE - the path to the flex executable
#  FLEX_VERSION - the version of flex
#  FLEX_LIBRARIES - The flex libraries
#
# The minimum required version of flex can be specified using the
# standard syntax, e.g. FIND_PACKAGE(FLEX 2.5.13)
#
#
# If flex is found on the system, the module provides the macro:
#  FLEX_TARGET(Name FlexInput FlexOutput [COMPILE_FLAGS <string>])
# which creates a custom command  to generate the <FlexOutput> file from
# the <FlexInput> file.  If  COMPILE_FLAGS option is specified, the next
# parameter is added to the flex  command line. Name is an alias used to
# get  details of  this custom  command.  Indeed the  macro defines  the
# following variables:
#  FLEX_${Name}_DEFINED - true is the macro ran successfully
#  FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUTS - the source file generated by the custom rule, an
#  alias for FlexOutput
#  FLEX_${Name}_INPUT - the flex source file, an alias for ${FlexInput}
#
# Flex scanners oftenly use tokens  defined by Bison: the code generated
# by Flex  depends of the header  generated by Bison.   This module also
# defines a macro:
#  ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(FlexTarget BisonTarget)
# which  adds the  required dependency  between a  scanner and  a parser
# where  <FlexTarget>  and <BisonTarget>  are  the  first parameters  of
# respectively FLEX_TARGET and BISON_TARGET macros.
#
#  ====================================================================
#  Example:
#
#   find_package(BISON)
#   find_package(FLEX)
#
#   BISON_TARGET(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp
#   FLEX_TARGET(MyScanner lexer.l  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BIANRY_DIR}/lexer.cpp)
#   ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(MyScanner MyParser)
#
#   include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
#   add_executable(Foo
#      Foo.cc
#      ${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS}
#      ${FLEX_MyScanner_OUTPUTS}
#   )
