The simplest way to get started is with the calculator example, which  
I recall is described in the Bison manual. It is also in the book by  
Aho, Sethi & Ullman, "Compilers...", which also describes how to use  
Lex; use Flex instead. The Usenet newsgroup comp.compilers has a FAQ  
posted there monthly with more information. Expand from there, the  
way you want to go.
