Error when executing make - c++

Question

I am trying to create a makefile for my project, but i seem to run into some errors, as I am testing new things. My file structure is as such:
~/main #root project folder
~/main/include #header files (mostly class headers)
~/main/src #source files
~/main/src/obj #object files
Makefile
(Makefile is in the root project folder)
Makefile:
CC=g++
IDIR=include
SDIR=src
ODIR=src/obj
DEPS=$(IDIR)/%.h
OBJS=$(ODIR)/%.o
SRCS=$(SDIR)/%.cpp
CFLAGS=-Wall -std=c++11 -I$(IDIR)
$(OBJS): $(SRCS) $(DEPS)
$(CC) -c -o $# $< $(CFLAGS)
all: $(OBJS)
gcc -o run $^ $(CFLAGS)
.PHONY: clean
clean:
rm -f $(OBJS)
For testing purposes I have a single main.cpp in src folder and a random header file in include folder. The error I am getting when running the simple make command is the following:
make: *** No rule to make target `src/obj/%.o', needed by `all'. Stop.
EDIT : With the help of the guys below i came up with the solution
CC=g++
IDIR=include
SDIR=src
ODIR=src/obj
CFLAGS=-Wall -std=c++11 -I$(IDIR)
_DEPS = yo.h
DEPS = $(patsubst %,$(IDIR)/%,$(_DEPS))
_OBJ = main.o
OBJ = $(patsubst %,$(ODIR)/%,$(_OBJ))
_SRC = main.cpp
SRC = $(patsubst %,$(SDIR)/%,$(_SRC))
$(ODIR)/%.o: $(SRC) $(DEPS)
$(CC) -c -o $# $< $(CFLAGS)
all: $(OBJ)
$(CC) -o run $^ $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS)
.PHONY: clean
clean:
rm -f $(OBJS)

Answer 1

There is a difference in using % in your two cases. When you write:
$(ODIR)/%.o : $(SDIR)/%.cpp $(IDIR)/%.h
that will do pattern substitution, and create a bunch of rules like:
$(ODIR)/foo.o : $(SDIR)/foo.cpp $(SDIR)/foo.h
So it's fine there, although you should use the % explicitly there so it's clear to see what the rule is doing.
But when you use it here:
all : $(ODIR)/%.o
That is literally looking for the target $(ODIR)/%.o for which you don't have a rule. There's no substitution. And you don't have a rule to make that target - hence the error. What you meant to do was have all depend on all the actual objects, for which you'll want to use the wildcard function:
SOURCES = $(wildcard $(SDIR)/*.cpp)
OBJECTS = $(SOURCES:$(SDIR)/%.cpp=$(ODIR)/%.o)
all : $(OBJECTS)
gcc -o run $^ $(CFLAGS)

When you use
OBJS=$(ODIR)/%.o
The %.o part does not expand to anything meaningful. It just remains as the literal value %.o. Same problem exists for DEPS and SRCS as well.
You need to use the wildcard and patsub functions. Instead of
DEPS=$(IDIR)/%.h
OBJS=$(ODIR)/%.o
SRCS=$(SDIR)/%.cpp
use
DEPS=$(wildcard $(IDIR)/*.h)
SRCS=$(wildcard $(SDIR)/*.cpp)
OBJS=$(patsub %.cpp,%.o,$(SRCS))
