Intel ACPI-CA compiler: 'make' error

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

as I'd like to disassemble the latest ASUS M6N DSDT (version 0208A, which lacks S1, while in the ancient 0205A S1 was present), I downloaded the ACPI-CA Unix source package from
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm

Trying to compile the compiler, I got an error:

Can someone at Intel correct this, please?

Thx, bye,

hello luca...

apart from the guys at intel fixing this, debian users should be able to compile the iasl with the packages "flex-old" and "bison-1.35" if i recall correctly.

hth,
sebastian
