Using Yacc and Lex in Xcode

Question

I read that Xcode 4 (and I believe that previous versions) are built in to support Yacc and Lex, which I just found out about. I am trying to set up a simple project to test them, but since I am new to Xcode and Yacc / Lex, I cannot figure out how to do this correctly.

Can I recommend a useful guide or tutorial on using Yacc / Lex in Xcode 4?

Good luck to you!
