I presently have a compiler to write with Flex and Bison.
I have a lex.l file, and a parse.y in which there are no conflicts.
I also have a symtable.h included.

I have a makefile as follows...
============================================================
project: parse.tab.o lex.yy.o
echo ---> compiling and linking project program
cc -DYYDEBUG=1 -o project parse.tab.o lex.yy.o -ly -ll -lm

lex.yy.o: lex.yy.c parse.tab.h # the dependencies of lex.yy.o the lexer object
echo ---> determining dependency for lex.yy.o

lex.yy.o parse.tab.o: symtable.h #just declares that symtable.h is a dependency to both
echo ---> determining symtable.h dependency for lex.yy.o parse.tab.o

parse.tab.c parse.tab.h: parse.y # THE PARSE C AND H FILES MADE... OK to here
echo ---> making parse.tab.c and parse.tab.h
bison -d parse.y

lex.yy.c : lex.l # THE LEX C FILE MADE
echo ---> making lexfile
flex lex.l

============================================================
When I run it, I get the following output. The line numbers don't actually correspond. Could you advise as to how the makefile should be written to not have any error?
============================================================
