Makefiles are usually used to create object files; not source files. And, I don't see any rules in your makefile that make any attempt to create a source file.
What source files are you trying to create with your makefile?
What command line did you use when you invoked make?
What output did you get when you ran make?
What files were you hoping your invocation of make would produce?
Did you make any changes to any of your source files from the way you described them in post #1 in this thread (such as adding a definition of the function main() in ac.cc or pg.cc)?

md(1) BSD General Commands Manual md(1)
NAME
md -- process raw dependency files produced by cpp -MD
SYNOPSIS
md [-d] [-f] [-m makefile] [-u makefile] [-o outputfile] [-v] [-x] [-D c|d|m|o|t|D]
DESCRIPTION
The md command basically does two things:
Process the raw dependency files produced by the cpp -MD option. There is one line in the file for every #include encountered, but there are
repeats and patterns like .../dir1/../dir2 that appear which should reduce to .../dir2. md canonicalizes and flushes repeats from the depen-
dency list. It also sorts the file names and "fills" them to a 78 character line.
md also updates the makefile directly with the dependency information, so the .d file can be thrown away (see d option). This is done to
save space. md assumes that dependency information in the makefile is sorted by .o file name and it procedes to merge in (add/or replace [as
appropriate]) the new dependency lines that it has generated. For time efficiency, md assumes that any .d files it is given that were cre-
ated before the creation date of the "makefile" were processed already. It ignores them unless the force flag [f] is given.
FLAG SUMMARY
-D c|D|d|m|o|t
Specify debugging option(s):
c show file contents
D show very low level debugging
d show new dependency crunching
m show generation of makefile
o show files being opened
t show time comparisons
-d Delete the .d file after it is processed
-f Force an update of the dependencies in the makefile, even if the makefile is more recent than the .n file. (This implies that md has
been run already.)
-m makefile
Specify the makefile to be upgraded. The defaults are makefile and then Makefile.
-o outputfile
Specify an output file (other than a makefile) for the dependencies.
-u makefile
Like -m, but the file will be created if necessary.
-v Set the verbose flag.
-x Expunge old dependency information from the makefile.

BUGS
Old, possibly not used by anyone.
