Subject: trying to build backports, "input in flex scanner failed"

Hi all,

I am trying to build backports-3.10-rc1-2 on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Whenever I try to start a clean build, I get the error:

gnychis@parallels:/media/psf/Documents/thesis/backports-3.10-rc1-2$
make defconfig-rt2x00
cc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -c -o conf.o conf.c
cc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -c -o zconf.tab.o zconf.tab.c
cc conf.o zconf.tab.o -o conf
input in flex scanner failed
make[1]: *** [defconfig-rt2x00] Error 2
make: *** [defconfig-rt2x00] Error 2

I have flex installed. It's not getting very far. Does anyone know
what the issue could be here?

Thanks!

The package does not contain a rt2x00 default config, have you generated
one by yourself? Does this problem also occur when your run make
menuconfig or make defconfig-rtlwifi?
