The complete guide to the make: *** no rule to make target needed by issue.

As advised, I used some code samples in another forum, but it could not improve the problem. My question is the “make: *** no rule to make target needed by” in programs – How to solve it? The command line is:

a.out: vertex.o edge.o elist.o main.o vlist.o enode.o vnode.o
  g++ vertex.o edge.o elist.o main.o vlist.o enode.o vnode.o
 
 main.o: main.cpp main.h
  g++ -c main.cpp
 
 vertex.o: vertex.cpp vertex.h
  g++ -c vertex.cpp
 
 edge.o: edge.cpp edge.h
  g++ -c num.cpp
 
 vlist.o: vlist.cpp vlist.h
  g++ -c vlist.cpp
 
 elist.o: elist.cpp elist.h
  g++ -c elist.cpp
 
 vnode.o: vnode.cpp vnode.h
  g++ -c vnode.cpp
 
 enode.o: enode.cpp enode.h
  g++ -c node.cpp

and the result:

"No rule to make target 'vertex.cpp', needed by 'vertex.o'.  Stop."

What does the message mean? Can you advise me to fix it? If you have other better answers, leave them in the answer box below.

    The cause: You frequently get that message error because you don’t have a file called vertex.cpp to build.

    Solution: To fix the problem “make: *** no rule to make target needed by”, you should check that:

    • Is the file still available?
    • Have you made sure you’re in the appropriate directory?

    This error is often caused by an spelling error.

    This error occurred to me today.

    make[1]: *** No rule to make target maintenaceDialog.cpp', needed bymaintenaceDialog.o’. Stop.

    My error was a spelling mistake. It was missing the third N in MAINTENANCE.

    Also, make sure to check the spelling of your filenames.
