I was trying to compile gstreamer from a fresh mingw system. I installed flex
2.5.4 from gnuwin32. But the compilation failed (grammar.tab.h was not
generated).

The configure script had just reported that an old version of flex was
installed:

checking for flex... /usr/local/bin/flex
checking flex version 2.5.4 >= 2.5.31... no

and it did not exit.

Then I installed flex 2.5.33 from the mingw repository and the compilation was
successfull.

Maybe there is a problem in the AG_GST_FLEX_CHECK macro.
