I'm attempting to learn some flex/bison, and I'm reading Flex & Bison by John Levine (O'Reilly). There is an example that I need to get running, however I can't get it to run as I get the following error:
/tmp/ccKZcRYB.o: In function `yylex':
fb3-1.lex.c:(.text+0x2bd): undefined reference to `yylval'
/tmp/cclBqnOk.o: In function `main':
fb3-1funcs.c:(.text+0x420): undefined reference to `yyparse'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I've got four source files:
fb3-1.h:

To Build:
bison -d fb3-1.y
flex -ofb3-1.lex.c fb3-1.l
cc -o $@ fb3-1.tab.c fb3-1.lex.c fb3-1funcs.c
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 x64, with the packages 'flex' and 'bison' installed. Anyone know why this error is happening, and how to fix it? Thanks in advance :)
Solved it, the command
cc -o $@ fb3-1.tab.c fb3-1.lex.c fb3-1funcs.c
Should be
cc -o fb3 fb3-1.tab.c fb3-1.lex.c fb3-1funcs.c
Not sure why the book didn't specify that for the example.
