I am new to GNU autotools and in my project lex and yacc parsers are used.Including them as source in makefile.am produes following error :
configure.in :
...

if test "x$YACC" = "xbison"; then
YACC="$YACC -y"

I've searched Internet for the solution and was unable to come up with any. Hope someone recognizes the problem and has a quick solution to it. Any help will be appreciated.
The problem is that neither make nor automake know anything about the non-standard .lex
file extension, so when you have a source file that ends in .lex
, they don't know what to do with it. You could create rules to handle .lex
, but it's probably much easier to just rename the file with a .l
file extension, which they know how to handle.
I just ran through a simple example , adding the following Autotools files:
configure.ac :
AC_PREREQ([2.69])
AC_INIT([example], [0.1a], [example@example.com])
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([ex1.l])
# Used only to shorten the otherwise lengthy compilation line in the output below.
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
# I used C instead of C++.
AC_PROG_CC
AM_PROG_LEX
AC_PROG_YACC
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
Makefile.am (taken pretty much straight from the Automake manual ):
BUILT_SOURCES = ex1.h
AM_YFLAGS = -d
bin_PROGRAMS = ex1
ex1_SOURCES = ex1.l ex1.y
It turned out that you can't name the files with the same base file name. In my case, I had ex1.l and ex1.y . Using ex1_SOURCES = ex1.l ex1.y
resulted in the following output when I invoked make
:
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/kit/ex1'
/bin/bash ./ylwrap ex1.l lex.yy.c ex1.c -- flex
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kit/ex1'
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/kit/ex1'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H=1 -I. -g -O2 -MT ex1.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ex1.Tpo -c -o ex1.o ex1.c
ex1.l:5:17: fatal error: ex1.h: No such file or directory
#include "ex1.h"
^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:378: recipe for target 'ex1.o' failed
make[1]: *** [ex1.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kit/ex1'
Makefile:281: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
Note the fact that flex was invoked in the second line, but bison/yacc was not. What's the reason? Well, the ylwrap
script is the reason:
ex1.c: ex1.l
ex1.c: ex1.y
Because the script renames the output of ex1.l from "lex.yy.c" to "ex1.c", the makefile thinks that ex1.c is already built, so it won't do anything with the bison/yacc file, which means that ex1.h isn't built either.
You can't disable the ylwrap
script, but you can work around it: simply rename your flex source file and change the references to the file name in your Makefile.in and configure.ac files as necessary. You shouldn't need to rename your bison/yacc source file because that would mean changing every #include "fc45.h"
to #include "fc45_g.h"
(or whatever you renamed the file to) in every C file as well as your flex source file.
