Subject: Error with Make


Hello,

As I want to compile a parser with C++, I'm trying to use Bison 1.875b.

I'm working with Make 3.79.1, GCC 3.2, MingW 2.0.0.3, Msys 1.0.7, under Windows 
Me.

When I lauch the command line

bison -y -t -r all -d -S lalr1.cc parser.y

in a DOS windows, everything is fine, I get all the files: y.tab.c u.tab.h 
y.output location.hh, stack.hh, position.hh.

When I lauch a makefile with the lines

# by default YACC = bison -y
YACFLAGS = -t -r all -d -S lalr1.cc 
[...]

build/parser.c build/parser.h: parser.y
        $(YACC) $(YACFLAGS) $<

[...]

I get 

MAKE: *** [build/parser.c] Error 1

and the only file that is created is y.output.

It seems to me that Make misunderstands the result value (if any?) returned by 
bison? Am I right? Is it a bug of Bison?

Any idea?

Thanks.

Nota: I think that this point is the same that Ramaswamy's one "Bison & Flex in 
make", of Wed, 5 Mar 2003,  but I haven't seen any answer to him.
