Makefile No rule to make target

I am trying to create a makefile to build a program and am getting the following error:

Your makefile has the rule tsimplex_main.o : $(MAINDIR)/tsimplex_main.cpp but tsimplex_main.cpp is either missing or not where the makefile expected it to be. make's usual reaction when it can't find a file is to try and create it, but it has no rule to make a .cpp file from scratch, so it quits.
