I have 2 .cpp files, one called testmain13.cpp, and the other called
video.cpp.  If I work from rhide, and put the two together in a project,
they work just as expected.  However, I am having trouble with coming up
with a makefile to do the same thing.

Right now, my makefile is called proj13.mak and looks like:

proj13.exe: video.o testmain13.o
 gcc -o proj13.exe video.o testmain13.o
video.o: video.cpp
 gcc -c testmain13.cpp
testmain13.o
 gcc -c testmain13.cpp

(it doesn't quite look like it, at least in my newsreader, but it is a
"tab", not just a couple of spaces before the lines call gcc)

when I cd to the directory that this file is in (testmain13.cpp and
video.cpp are in the same directory) and type "make proj13.exe", I get  the
response:

make.exe: *** No rule to make target `proj13.exe'.  Stop.

When I type either "make video.o" or "make testmain13.o", the correponding
line in the makefile gets executed just fine.


When I individually type the lines, the lines to compile testmain13 and
video work fine, but the line to compile the final execuatble produces a
bunch of errors.
