Generated parser searching for y.tab.c

[Paulo J. Matos]

Hi all,

I'm defining a parser:
foo.yy:
%name-prefix="foo"
%skeleton "lalr1.cc"                          /*  -*- C++ -*- */
%require "2.1a"
%defines
%yacc

%{
...
%}

...

I have in my configure.ac:
...
# Checks for programs.
AC_LANG([C++])
AC_PROG_CXX
AC_PROG_CC
AC_PROG_YACC
AC_PROG_LEX
...

And in my Makefile.am
# Sources built
BUILT_SOURCES = position.hh location.hh stack.hh foo.h foo.cc

position.hh location.hh stack.hh foo.h foo.cc: parser/foo.yy

CLEANFILES = position.hh location.hh stack.hh foo.h foo.cc

bin_PROGRAMS = foo
foo_SOURCES = foo-lexer.ll foo-parser.yy ...

Problem is that the generated foo.cc is trying to include y.tab.h,
which should be foo.h.

It seems that automake renames the files which are output by bison to
match the prefix of the yy file. In this case, foo. However, since
bison does not know about that tries to include y.tab.h.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Regards,
