It would help if you added your object(s) (presumably with main())
to the link line:

  g++ -o lispdemo lispdemo.o graphics.o ... -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11

This looks like correct rule, except your news client "ate" the
leading <TAB>. Are you using gnu-make or something else?

You may try to rewrite it this way (the $^ appears to be a gnu
extension):

OBJECTS = lispdemo.o graphics.o ...

lispdemo: $(OBJECTS)
        $(CPP) -o $@ $(OBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS)
