*** No rule to make target 'class.cpp', needed by `build/....x86/class.o` Stop. error in Ubuntu

Question

I got this error trying to build and compile my program. Now I can't open all my .cpp files in my program.

make[2]: * No rule to make target Checker.cpp', needed bybuild/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86/Checker.o'. Stop.

Anyone can help me with this? I have checked all the online sources but I can't seem to find a solution. I desperately need this solved. Appreciate any help given.

It means that it can't find your source file Checker.cpp. Double check your paths. — Joachim Isaksson, Jul 26 '13 at 18:17

Q: Are you sure you *HAVE* a file called "Checker.cpp"? Is it in the correct directory? — paulsm4, Jul 26 '13 at 18:19
Ok stupid mistake. The .cpp files were moved to another folder instead of copied when I did the transfer. Thanks guys. Anyone who post the answer I will select it ^^ — Joel Seah, Jul 26 '13 at 18:23

You get this error when you don't have a file (Checker.cpp) here to make. Its probably for the following reasons :

Your current directory is not the directory in which your file resides.
The file may have been moved to somewhere else.
Or the worse , the file doesn't exist.
