Hello,

I'm trying to build the latest version of i3 on FreeBSD since the port
has not been updated yet, and I get the following error when building.

[i3] YACC src/cfgparse.y
[i3] CC src/cfgparse.tab.c
[i3] LEX src/cfgparse.l
flex: can't open src/cfgparse.yy.c
gmake: *** [src/cfgparse.yy.c] Error 1

I have 
	flex 2.5.37
	bison 2.5.1
installed from ports.

Just because it can been done, does not mean it should be done.
