Makefile for pthreads

Question

I am trying to compile a pthread example, but am getting the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target `example.cpp', needed by `example.o'.  Stop.

This is my makefile:

CC = g++
CCFLAGS = -Wall

example: example.o
        $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -o example example.o -pthread

example.o: example.cpp
        $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -c example.cpp -pthread

clean:
        - rm *.o
        - rm example

I included the -pthread flag, I am not sure what else it wants in order to compile. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you very much.

Solution

As it says, there is no example.cpp in the current directory.

Do a ls in the current directory and post here.
