When you write a pattern rule like this, all the stated prerequisites must exist (or be able to be built) in order for the pattern rule to apply. COST is defined as COST=$(BIN_PATH)/cost However, assuming that cost is a binary, it is probably named "cost.exe" on Win32, meaning that as written $(COST) does not exist and so the pattern rule can't apply. You have to be conscientious about using $(EXEEXT) if you're going to list executables as prerequisites, e.g. COST=$(BIN_PATH)/cost$(EXEEXT) (Assuming that you are using autoconf or something else that sets EXEEXT.) The ability to leave off the .exe suffix applies only when invoking a program. If you expect make to be able to find it as a prerequisite you have to include it.
