flex.c grows uncontrollably

[clasqm]

Moving this discussion from the Haku Forum ...

[bbjimmy]

We both started threads at about the same time. We should use this one.

[bbjimmy]

I suggest removing the buildfactory folder, un-installing buildfactory and re-installing it. There may be some left-over files from an earlier version in the BuildFactory folder.

[clasqm]

I'm reading this correctly, the file consists entirely of nulls.

[bbjimmy]

Ahh I see. You are not using the default folder for Buildfactory and not all the files are in your folder. One canot just copy the BuilFactory folder from /system/apps . It does not contain all the files needed. The BuildFactory.yab file copys the files from the dev folder to the Buildfactory folder but it may not work in this case.

[clasqm]

trying to compile, sorry, build allinone.yab from the examples

Nope, same problem

OK, commandline. Never done that before, so be gentle ...

OUCH!

It's symlinked back to ~

[clasqm]

Gotta go for an hour or so

[clasqm]

OK,  I did the following

• moved yab_work back to ~ and symlinked that to my Programming folder instead of the other way round
  
• deleted the Buildfactory folder
  
• emptied the Trash
  
•  uninstalled BuildFactory
  
• reinstalled it
  

and ...

At this stage there is a freeze and CTRL-C is needed to continue

So the flex.c problem has gone but there is something else wrong.
