Here is an example that works for me:

Makefile:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
hello: hello.cc
        g++ -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -ansi -pedantic -O hello.cc -o hello
 
clean:
        rm -f hello
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

hello.cc:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
  std::cout<< "Hello, world!\n";
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
