You got it backwards!

somefile.cc: somefile.o

This is backwards! The source file is not dependant on the object, it's the
other way around. Also, "luth" is dependant on the .o files, not the .cc files.
This causes make to see you have all your .cc files up to date, and doesn't see
a need to compile the .o files. And for the sake of it (I do it, but you may
not), put .exe on the end of your "luth" references. This will make sure you get
a .EXE file, and makes non-gcc users know what the output is to be.


Revised makefile template

luth.exe: chatacte.o file.o graphics.o messeng.o etc.
    gxx -o luth.exe <.o files> -lalleg

# gxx when making .o files is unnecessary and a waste
characte.o: characte.cc
    gcc -c characte.cc

file.o: file.cc
    gcc -c file.cc
