Trouble Building Bison Parser
 

Hello,

I've written a simple lexer/parser pair using
flex/bison and I'm having trouble getting it to build.
The lex file is named test.l and the parse file is
named test.y. I issue the following two commands:

(1) flex test.l
(2) bison test.y

which produce lex.yy.c and test.tab.c respectively. I
then try to build my parser with:

(3) gcc -o test lex.yy.c test.tab.c -ll

but sadly the linker complains thusly:

/tmp/cc8IXvts.o: In function 'yyparse':
/tmp/cc8IXvts.o(.text+0x5a(): undefined reference to
'yerror'

It seems I should be linking against some other
library but I can't figure out which one. I've poked
around the internet looking for a solution to no
avail. I found several reports of people bumping up
against this issue but no solutions. If anyone can
point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean 'undefined reference to yyerror'? You have to generate one by yourself.
See 'info bison' -> Parser C-Language Interface ->Error Reporting.
