Recipe fails when building poco with gcc - c++

Question

Hi im getting this error when trying to build poco with gcc at cygwin console, it is related with a recipe failed and im not sure how to solved this...
Here is the error code:
$ make
make -C /cygdrive/c/poco-1.4.6p4-all/Foundation
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/poco-1.4.6p4-all/Foundation'

Here is the bunch of code that is close to the line 53 that is showed as error:
$(OBJPATH_DEBUG_SHARED)/%.o: $(SRCDIR)/%.cpp $(DEPPATH)/%.d
#echo "** Compiling" $< "(debug, shared)"
$(CXX) $(INCLUDE) $(CXXFLAGS) $(DEBUGOPT_CXX) $(SHAREDOPT_CXX) -c $< -o $#
This may be easy to solve but i haven't figure it out in days because im not an expert on c++ and makefiles.
Update: Im still getting the same error, i will add the complete rule definitions file:

Answer 1

I would say the problem is that the directory doesn't exist. The compiler won't create a directory that doesn't exist. Try modifying your rule to create the directory before invoking the compiler:
$(OBJPATH_DEBUG_SHARED)/%.o: $(SRCDIR)/%.cpp $(DEPPATH)/%.d
#echo "** Compiling" $< "(debug, shared)"
mkdir -p $(dir $#)
$(CXX) $(INCLUDE) $(CXXFLAGS) $(DEBUGOPT_CXX) $(SHAREDOPT_CXX) -c $< -o $#
