You need to provide your own main() and yywrap(), or
your program.l should look like this to compile without a library
(yywrap is a macro; %option main turns on
%option noyywrap implicitly):
%option main
%%
.|\n ECHO ;
%%
Alternatively, you may compile with the -lfl linker option at the
end of your cc command line (like AT&T-Lex with
-ll). No %option is needed in this case.
