The Makefile apparently still thinks there is a dependency on the
main.cpp file or there is a typo. The makefile should have something
like ".dep/main.p". The extra p is weird.

You must have removed the main.cpp file from you project. What I do is
go through the makefile.* files and try and sync with what the project
still has defined. If you removed a file then you may have to manually
remove the ".dep" stuff from the make file.

I run into this when I try to move/remove files from the project.

I hope I helped some. It is difficult what I am trying to described
because I usually mess around until it stops complaining.
