It wasn't immediately obvious to me that I needed "bison" and "flex" as dependencies to generate parser.h and other source files. The build would fail and the error wouldn't be easy to comprehend until I analyzed the inclue.am files and saw that parser.h was generated by YACC (bison in our case).
It'd be much better to fail hard and early at configure time when those two required dependencies are missing.
