node-gyp make error no rule to make target

[NodeNinja]

I'm trying to build a node addon on linux with node-gyp

My binding.gyp looks like this

{

  "targets": [

{

 "target_name": "test",

 "sources": [ "test.cc" ]

}

]

}

when I do 

node-gyp configure

I get a build folder with the required makefiles etc.

but when I try to do

node-gyp build

I get 

make: *** No rule to make target `Release/obj.target/test/test.o', needed by `Release/obj.target/test.node'.  Stop.

When I look into the folder structure I find that there is no directory like Release/obj.target/test in the build folder.

Anyway to correct this?

This looks like the same error message:
https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/issues/165

You should ask that guy what he did to fix it.

Good Idea!  Will update this post as soon as I get some reply from him. How to contact him though?

You could just reply to that GitHub issue.

YarcoWang at github helped me fix the problem. 

I just spotted the same problem my source file was named "test.cpp" and in the binding.gyp targets -> sources I had wrongly mentioned "test.cc" 

Many thanks!!
