The following:
Code:
gq.o: gq.cc ac.h -I/assign1/includes bb.h	
	g++ -c gq.cc

says that the file gq.o needs to be brought up-to-date if any of the four files:
Code:
	gq.cc ac.h -I/assign1/includes bb.h

in the current working directory are newer than gq.o or if any of those files do not exist. Neither of the last two files in that list exist in the current directory, and you have not supplied any rules that tell make how to build those files. The third file in that list looks like it might be an option to gcc to tell it how to find bb.h while it is compiling gq.cc to build gq.o, but it does not tell make how to find bb.h. (But the pathname you specified for bb.h [/home/turing/z1755294/assign1/assign1/includes] does not seem to be what is specified by -I/asign1/includes.)

If you are sitting in the directory /home/turing/z1755294/assign1/assign1 when you run make and the files gq.cc and ac.h are in that directory, what pathnames (absolute or relative) can be used to enable make to find the file bb.h?
