Installing Yacc/Lex on Arch

Hello, 
I have this project in which I should use Yacc/Lex. But when I want to "compile" the lex.yy.c file by doing gcc lex.yy.c -ll, I get an error saying:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ll
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Is there some extra package that I have to install, or is the problem caused by something else? 

Thanks!

What is -ll for?  Are you using gnu bison?  If you need to link to the yacc library, you should be using '-ly' not '-ll', or if you need to link to (f)lex, use -lfl.

Ah it is solved now, I don't know why a tutorial video on Youtube showed -ll.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
