Makefile help

I've copied a C++ project from my old computer to this one, and I am now trying to (without success) compile the project in the same way as I did before. I use Emacs as a text editor and compile with g++. Here is what my makefile looks like:

Code:

CC=g++
CPPFLAGS=-Wall
CPPFLAGS+=-I..
CPPFLAGS+=-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL
CPPFLAGS+=-mwindows
SRC=main.cpp #../imanip/imanip.cpp #../imanip/imfuncs.cpp
OBJ=$(SRC:.cpp=.o)
OUT=image_test.exe

all: $(OUT)
    rm $(OBJ) #Remove .o

$(OBJ) :
    $(CC) $(SRC) $(CPPFLAGS) -c #Create .o

$(OUT) : $(OBJ)
    $(CC) $(OBJ) $(CPPFLAGS) -o $@ #Link .

And here is what Emacs displays when trying to compile (Edit: just ignore this error and skip down to my second post, since this error was caused by an incorrect installation of SDL!):

Code:

mingw32-make -k 
g++ main.o -Wall -I.. -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -o image_test.exe
C:\Program1\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lSDLmain
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make: *** [image_test.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

It says that it can't find -lSDLmain. What does it mean (makefiles are not my strong side), I have installed SDL the way it should be installed (NOT!)? Can you see what is wrong?

lupdate

lupdate(1)						      General Commands Manual							lupdate(1)

NAME

       lupdate - update Qt Linguist translation files

SYNOPSIS

       lupdate [ options ] project-file
       lupdate [ options ] source-files -ts ts-files

DESCRIPTION

       This  page  documents  the Qt Linguist Update tool for the Qt GUI toolkit.  Lupdate reads a qmake/tmake project file (.pro file), finds the
       translatable strings in the specified source, header and interface files, and updates the translation files (.ts files)	specified  in  it.
       The translation files are given to the translator who uses Qt Linguist to read the files and insert the translations.

       The .ts file format is a simple human-readable XML format that can be used with version control systems if required.

OPTIONS

       -help  Display the usage and exit.

       -noobsolete
	      Drop all obsolete strings.

       -verbose
	      Explain what is being done.

       -version
	      Display the version of lupdate and exit.

USAGE

       Here is an example .pro file that can be given to lupdate:

	   HEADERS	   = funnydialog.h 
			     wackywidget.h
	   SOURCES	   = funnydialog.cpp 
			     main.cpp 
			     wackywidget.cpp
	   FORMS	   = fancybox.ui
	   TRANSLATIONS    = gnomovision_dk.ts 
			     gnomovision_fi.ts 
			     gnomovision_no.ts 
			     gnomovision_se.ts

       When  running lupdate on this project file, the translatable strings in all the files listed in the HEADERS, SOURCES and FORMS entries will
       be put in the translation files listed in the TRANSLATIONS entry. Previous translations will be reused as far as possible,  and	translated
       strings that have vanished from the source files are marked obsolete.

       Lupdate can also be invoked with a list of C++ source files, .ui files and .ts files:

	   lupdate *.cpp *.h *.ui -ts gnomovision_dk.ts
