This is the latest version.

This is not: the latest is 1.4.7; perhaps the problem I found (see
below) is corrected there.

Here's the relevant part of the Makefile:

The problem is in the dependency marked with "<<<<<<<<".  It names the
full pathname of test.o, whereas the dependency for test.o uses just
"test.o".  How's Make supposed to know these two are one and the same
file?  Make is just a text-processing program, as far as reading the
Makefile is considered.

If I change d:/paint/test.o to test.o, everything works like you'd
expect.

Now, I don't know if this is a bug in RHIDE (I don't use RHIDE myself)
or your own usage error.  I'd guess that RHIDE gets these dependencies
by processing the output of "gcc -M", which outputs the full pathnames
of the files.  In that case, I'd think RHIDE needs to name the targets
(like test.exe, test.o, test.cpp in this case) with their full
pathnames as well, to prevent such cases.
