Not sure how new it is, but it looks like 2.5.33 is the minimum:

The version check fails on FreeBSD 8 even tho flex-2.5.35_3 is installed from ports.
# flex --version flex version 2.5.4
Tom, that is the prediluvian flex version. 2.5.35 is way newer than 2.5.4
The version check passes on Linux and OpenSolaris but FreeBSD has a harder time with it.
If your flex --version returns 2.5.4 than it is too old.
Gerald has a workaround for this.. Shall I call it a bug? since a
The configure check doesn't checks the version number but a functionality that was implemented after 2.5.4. If that check fails on FreeBSD it means the flex version is too old.
newer version is actually installed but the version check fails.

But if you download the Wine source and try to compile your out of luck unless you remove the version check from configure, which is what Ive done as a temporary fix.
That doesn't make much sense as the Wine compilation should fail as the configure check uses a flex feature used in Wine from the commit e470475151692bd498124f1d3a7e2fca4be9092a. That is in wpp so it should die pretty soon during the build.
