Try "make -f proj13.mak" instead.  By default, Make looks for a file
called `Makefile' in the current directory; if you want another file
name, you need to tell that to Make via the -f option.

Btw, you don't need to tell Make how to create a foo.o file from a
foo.cpp file: Make already knows that.  Thus, the first rule in your
Makefile is all you need to get this project to build correctly.
