But anyways if you edit your lexer, why do you need to rebuild your whole thing? Its just like editing any .c file within a project just rebuild it and then link it all together. Looking at your Makefile i don't understand why your doing alot of stuff there, for what your doing there all you need is: bin_PROGRAMS = fixc noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libparser.la AM_YFLAGS = -d --verbose fixc_SOURCES = \ inc_parser.h \ main.c fixc_LDADD = \ libparser.la libparser_la_SOURCES = \ grammar.y \ parser.h \ pure.h \ scanner.l Having those extra hooks should be un-nessecary since ylwrap should handle the outputs fine, and it should know if changed to re-generate fine. I don't think making your parser as a shared library like that is the right idea, for what your doing there what i would do is: bin_PROGRAMS = fixc noinst_LIBRARIES = libparser.a AM_YFLAGS = -d --verbose fixc_SOURCES = \ inc_parser.h \ main.c fixc_LDADD = libparser.a libparser_a_CFLAGS = -DPARSER libparser_a_SOURCES = parser.y lexer.l I've found when dealing with lexer's and parsers in a large program making those components into a static library is useful. --Phil _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
