Caveat: I have never used flex with C++, so the advice below might be 
nothing but a wild goose.

What version of flex did you use?  The latest port of flex 2.5.4
(v2gnu/flx254b.zip) comes with a program flexpp.exe that should be used
for creating C++ lexers.  A header file FlexLexer.h should also be used 
in C++ lexers.  I believe this is all explained in the flex docs.
