Probably because you don't have g++.exe on your system.

Like I said, post the details: the Makefile fragment that should invoke 
the compiler and the error message(s) printed when you run it.  It is 
impossible to debug such problems without seeing this stuff.

.SUFFIXES already includes .cpp.  You can see that if you invoke Make 
with the -p option, which causes it to dump the entire data-base of rules 
known by Make.
