input in flex scanner failed when using configs

[sjaks]

When using the predefined configs, I get:

sami@pad:~ $ hl -V
hl: version 1.93
sami@pad:~ $ hl --du
input in flex scanner failed
sami@pad:~ $ hl --log_d
input in flex scanner failed
sami@pad:~ $ cat /var/log/auth.log | hl --log
input in flex scanner failed
sami@pad:~ $

Version number is visible above.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04. Feel free to ask if you need to know other package versions. I am eager to help!

Hello,
can you please provide the version numbers for flex and bison ?
You also may use the "-L" option to activate lex (flex) debug and the "-v" option (-v, -vv, -vvv) to get additional information.
Thanks.

I used the debian package discussed in #17.

Hi,
I've just installed Ubuntu 20.04 in a VM, downloaded git, make, gcc, flex and bison and it worked fine.
Regarding your problem, I didn't define the configurations you want to use :

mb@VM-ubuntu-20-04:~/projets/hl/config_files$ grep '^du[        ]*:' *
mb@VM-ubuntu-20-04:~/projets/hl/config_files$ grep '^log[       ]*:' *

Where do these configurations come from ?

Regards.

I have no answer to the question I asked 25 days ago, so I close this issue.
