Hi,

You may create these directories (.deps and .objs) in your source file directory by hand.

If you "export" Makefile you will see commands to create these directories.

The point is that they should be automatically created...
Maybe the folder is read-only or you don't have write permission? Or are you working on a read-only medium (like a CD)?
If none of these are true, please export the Makefile and post it here.

Yiannis.

OK, it appears that the project previously had a file main.cpp which you apparently renamed to c_main.cpp. The dependencies were generated for the main.cpp file, which is now missing (as a matter of fact, the dependencies for main.cpp are missing - the .deps/main.d file).
There are two solutions for this:

a) Click "Compile/Dist clean" and re-compile, or
b) manually delete the .deps folder inside your project dir and re-compile...
