Make sure all the indented lines have tabs in them rather than spaces.
The best thing to do is to take the original file with the comments,
select the commented region, then do C-u M-x comment-region. That will
uncomment it for you.

No.

You should remove lex.yy.cc, y.tab.cc and y.tab.h from the source
tree. That will cause them to be created in the build tree each time
you make. You only need to remove the source files once.
