Correct makefile for a bison/flex compilation

[Joe Garvey]

I presently have a compiler to write with Flex and Bison.
I have a lex.l file, and a parse.y in which there are no conflicts.
I also have a symtable.h included.

I have a makefile as follows...
============================================================
project: parse.tab.o lex.yy.o
        echo ---> compiling and linking project program
        cc -DYYDEBUG=1 -o project parse.tab.o lex.yy.o -ly -ll -lm    

lex.yy.o:   lex.yy.c parse.tab.h # the dependencies of lex.yy.o the lexer
object
        echo ---> determining dependency for lex.yy.o

lex.yy.o parse.tab.o: symtable.h #just declares that symtable.h is a
dependency to both
        echo ---> determining symtable.h dependency for lex.yy.o parse.tab.o

parse.tab.c parse.tab.h:  parse.y       # THE PARSE C AND H FILES MADE...  OK to
here
        echo --->  making parse.tab.c and parse.tab.h
        bison -d parse.y

lex.yy.c : lex.l                        # THE LEX C FILE MADE
        echo ---> making lexfile
        flex lex.l

============================================================
When I run it, I get the following output.  The line numbers don't actually
correspond. Could you advise as to how the makefile should be written to not
have any error?
============================================================
address@hidden:/usr/local/project/chk$ make

makefile:6: warning: ignoring old commands for target `lex.yy.o'

echo ---> compiling and linking project program
