Dear community members
I am new to this community. I have just started working on an issue related to GUI . I was looking into the codebase and trying to compile using the given instructions in
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows
Now I am getting an error :
→ configure: error: *** Unable to locate lex.
I did some googling and found out that i should download and install FLEX. So I did, but still got the same error. Can anyone help on this?
Also is there any other way to check the working of code changes in GUI part without compiling the whole software?
···
Thanks and Regards,

it's part of the msys2 framework
(https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows#InstalltheMSYS2directorystructure )
in the msys2 shell:
$ lex --version
lex 2.6.4
Also is there any other way to check the working of code changes in GUI
part without compiling the whole software?
GUI is python, thus no need to compile. drop the updated script into the
corresponding folder.

best regards
