The really short answer is that you should read

When there are file that require two stages to build, the second of
which may require dependencies that you cannot calculate until the
first is done (the lexer.c file might not be compilable without the
parser.tab.h file generated by bison). So, to auto-generate
dependencies for the .o files you'll need to previously inform make of
the relevant ".c: .y" and ".c: .l" dependencies.
My preference is to declare the generated .h files to be order-only
dependencies of *all* the .o files. That way make will know that it
has to generate the .h before it tries to compile the .o's, but once
the .h exists the .o's will only be recompiled if the auto-dependency
bits generate a *real* dependency on the .h.
${OBJS} : | parser.tab.h
(...or whatever the name of the generated .h file(s) are)
