AFAIK, the PATH isn't used to find files in make.  Given that you have
mixed case in the above example, I'm guessing that you probably have
an incorrect case in the actual filename, i.e., the file is actually
called lExer.L or something like that.  If you do this:

  mv lexer.l foo; mv foo Lexer.l

you may be able to correctly set the filename case.
