Thanks.

There is one concern:
This has been discussed some weeks ago.
The compiler throws dozens of errors on some DSDTs:

DSDT.dsl 777: , AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)
Error 1084 - Missing ResourceSource string (required) ^

I cannot find the mail now, but IIRC Len said this was added to identify how many DSDTs violate specs (is it optional or not?) and should be removed again later.

The patch attached lowers the error to a warning, so that you get a compiled DSDT as output.
Not sure, maybe the error/warning case should be reverted totally?

I am having problems compiling this compiler on AMD64. It throws the following error message:

[compiler] $ make
cc -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -D_LINUX -DACPI_ASL_COMPILER -I../include -c -o aslcompilerlex.o aslcompilerlex.c
aslcompiler.l: In function `comment':
aslcompiler.l:847: error: `yytext_ptr' undeclared (first use in this function) aslcompiler.l:847: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once aslcompiler.l:847: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [aslcompilerlex.o] Error 1

This is not a new error though, I have had it for at least the 20050309 and 20050513 release. It happens with GCC 3.3, 3.4 and 4.0... anybody an idea? It can't be happening only to me, can it?

Thanks,
Frank

I had no problems compiling the code on x86_64.
Maybe you have to update lex/yacc packages?

Are you on Debian? I think this means you need to install flex-old.

Do Intel have any plans to make this compatible with versions of GNU flex after 2.5.4a?

Thanks a lot, this solved it. Maybe a note on the download page might be helpful?
