Using Yacc and Lex in Xcode

Question

I have read that Xcode 4 (and I suppose previous versions) have built in support for Yacc and Lex which I am just learning about. I'm trying to set up a simple project to test them out but as I'm new to Xcode and Yacc/Lex I can't seem to figure out the correct way to do it.

Can anyone recommend a helpful guide or tutorial for using Yacc/Lex in Xcode 4?

Answer 1

Having written an interpreted language in Xcode I have found the following tutorials and references useful.

Here is some information about the Yacc support in Xcode: Integrating Bison/Flex/Yacc into XCode

Best of luck to you!
