Why is my makefile not generating object files? - c++

Question

Here is my makefile:
LIBS = libxml2.so.2.9.4
LDFLAGS = -lstdc++ -lpthread -lxml2
vpath %.hpp ./
vpath %.cpp ./
vpath %.h ./libxml2/include/libxml
all: KeyGenerator
KeyGenerator: main.o ProjectXmlParser.o xmlparser.o
g++ ${CXXFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} -o KeyGenerator $+ ${LIBS}
main.o: main.cpp
ProjectXmlParser.o: ProjectXmlParser.cpp ProjectXmlParser.hpp
xmlparser.o: xmlparser.cpp xmlparser.hpp global.hpp
phony: clean
clean:
rm -f *.o
The output:
/usr/bin/make -f Makefile CONF=Debug
g++ -g -Wall -std=gnu++11 -pthread -I./ -I./src -I./libxml2/include -lstdc++ -lpthread -lxml2 -o KeyGenerator main.o ProjectXmlParser.o xmlparser.o libxml2.so.2.9.4
g++: error: ProjectXmlParser.o: No such file or directory
g++: error: xmlparser.o: No such file or directory
Makefile:12: recipe for target 'KeyGenerator' failed
make: *** [KeyGenerator] Error 1
In the project directory all of my hpp and cpp files exist at the same level. I do have one additional project called libxml that I am using. When I do a build main.o is created but none of the .o files are created. I've seen other posts pose this question but so far nothing has worked for me.
Thank you.

Based on the make -d output:
Must remake target 'ProjectXmlParser.o'.
Successfully remade target file 'ProjectXmlParser.o'.
it seems that make thinks you have an empty recipe to build this target. Maybe you have some stray TAB characters in your makefile after the ProjectxXmlParser.o and xmlparser.o rules, that aren't shown in the makefile you pasted into this question?
