Hi everyone, I'm new to contributing to Wine and I would like to apply to Outreachy Internship. I'm generally comfortable with C, but I don't understand Wine's code yet. I tried to download and build Wine on my computer, I followed this: https://wiki.winehq.org/Developer_FAQ#How_do_I_download_and_build_the_very_l... and make fails (linking actually) with undefined reference to yywrap in function yylex in file programs/winhlp32/macro.lex.yy.c line 1032. I'm using gcc 5.4.0. Could anyone help me solve this compilation issue? And suggest some small bugs to work on after succesfully compiling wine? Thanks in advance for help!
It's a bug in Flex; try downgrading to Flex 2.6.2 or wait a few months for Flex 2.6.4.
Wine is big and complicated, so you'll want to pick something very specific for your Outreachy proposal. Good luck!
