error on compile that I haven't seen before

I've been compiling the tutorial examples without any problems. Now, with Irrlicht .10, I'm getting a strange error message on compile. (I did change the paths to the directories so that they were correct)

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "E:\Engine\irrlicht-0.10.0\irrlicht-0.10.0\examples\08.SpecialFX\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "E:\Engine\irrlicht-0.10.0\irrlicht-0.10.0\examples\08.SpecialFX\Makefile.win" all
make.exe: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Execution terminated
Compilation successful

Anyone have a clue what this error means?? and how to fix it?

Oops, edit to add: This is using Dev-CPP

So where's the error? Although it states that it terminated I guess that the program just finished. Since compilation was successful everything should be ok?!

No, it closes upon execution. I get the Microsoft "this program must close. Please save any work you were doing" stuff.
I dunno. It's got me stumped.

try running it with the debugger on....
it might be tossing an exception or something...
like a null pointer or something.

according to what you said, the compilation was a success, and it also seems you executed it directly after compilation, which means you hit "Compile & Run". You should probably just hit "Compile" so it won't try to run it, and ends up crashing! It'll also help if you hit "Rebuild All" because that should clear out lots of errors. This is all I can think of, hope it helps..

"rebuild all" did the trick. Thanks.
