title: cannot build: No rule to make target
body: <p>I'm trying to transfer a working project from visual c to netbeans, which I just installed.
  However, it's not building. Below is the message.</p>

  <p>error is usually due to a spelling error. However, this is someone else's project I'm importing, and I have to clue how to find where the spelling error is?</p>
  
  <p>Also, the cygwin warning is mystifying, where the "MS-DOS style path detected" and the "preferred POSIX equivalent" only differs by a "/" and a "\"?</p>
