Hi Baurzhan,

Well, all I can tell you is what works for me. I have both the .yxx and 
.ll files in $(top_srcdir)/foo. I put the generated .cpp files at the same
level, in $(top_srcdir)/foo. My Makefile.am has,

libfoo_a_SOURCES= \
  FooGrammar.yxx \
  FooLexer.ll \
  Foo.cpp \

After I modify the .yxx file, and then type 'make', automake ensures
that the generated file in my source tree is updated.

Maybe you should start from scratch, remove the generated file from the
build tree, and try again.

Good luck,
Bob Rossi
