[Clfs-support] Flex error -- requires texlive

[Andrei Tudor]

Hello,

I am installing clfs using the Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch - Version GIT-20140525-x86_64-Multilib 

I am at chapter 10.23. Flex-2.5.39 32 Bit Libraries 

I chrooted into the system and compiled and installed all packages up to this one.

The output of the make command for 32 bit compilation:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make[2]: Leaving directory '/sources/flex-2.5.39'
Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory '/sources/flex-2.5.39/doc'
TEXINPUTS=".:$TEXINPUTS" \
MAKEINFO='/bin/sh /sources/flex-2.5.39/missing --run makeinfo   -I .' \
texi2dvi --pdf --batch flex.texi
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in
your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one.  If you want to use
this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do).  See the --help
output for more details.

For information about obtaining TeX, please see http://tug.org/texlive,
or do a web search for TeX and your operating system or distro.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I understand is that it needs tex to compile the documentation. I haven't installed texlive on it, but I have it on the host linux (by the way it is ArchLinux with the kernel: 3.14.4-1-ARCH). 

I hope I provided all the information necessary. I don't know how to fix this error. The same result with the 64 bit flex. I have searched on google, but I don't see other people having this problem.

Any help is appreciated,
Andrei
