Where did you explain your problem "clearly?"   Make doesn't have default 
rules to deal with .obj.  Did you write in a rule?  e.g.
.c.o:
         cl /c $*.c
         mv $*.obj $*.o

or, if you don't want to rename the .obj files, did you add .obj in 
.SUFFIXES and add rules about how to make .obj from .c and .exe from .obj?
