Problem in Makefile-" No rule to make target "


Dear frineds,
I am trying to compile a sample GUI (using GTK+) program for an PDA device.I am using Linux-arm-gcc cross compiler.For that PDA,I have an Makefile. When I tried to "make" it, I am getting error, "No rules to make target 'arm-linux-g++',need by "./scandemo" stop."
I cant solve this problem. Help me,to solve this problem.Whats wrong in my Makefile?.
I have mentioned my Makefile below.

Makefile:
---------
CROSS = arm-linux-
CC = $(CROSS)gcc
CXX = $(CROSS)g++

CFLAGS = -Wall \
-DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \
-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \
-DUSE_SYSTEM_PWD_GRP \
-DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \
-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \
`pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` \
-U__KERNEL__ -UDEBUG \
-I.

CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)

LDFLAGS = `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` -L. -lnls_fw

OBJS = demo.o
TARGET = ./scandemo

${TARGET} : $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(OBJS) -o ${TARGET} $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS)

clean:
rm -f *.o $(TARGET)

I did a mistake in the line,
${TARGET} : $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(OBJS) -o ${TARGET} $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS)
instead of
${TARGET} : $(OBJS)
$(CXX) $(OBJS) -o ${TARGET} $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS)
But still I m getting error,
"/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.3.2/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status".
I tried to find lgtk-x11-2.0. But i cant find it in my pc.
But i have already installed GTK+ 2.0.
How can solve this problem.
Thanks n adv.

Code:

But i have already installed GTK+ 2.0.
Since you are cross compiling, don't you need the GTK+2.0 libraries for the arm processor? It doesn't matter if GTK+ 2.0 is installed because it needs to link in the arm libraries, not the ones for your Intel host system. Maybe if you are lucky, your target system has these libraries installed. It might be a matter of copying them under the /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/ library directory tree. If not, you may need to cross compile the libraries as well.

As an aside,
Quote:
an PDA ... an Makefile ... getting error ... Makefile?.
The rule for whether you use "a" or "an" is the sound of the beginning of the next word. If the next word begins with a consonant sound, then use "a". If it begins with a vowel sound, use "an": a PDA; a Makefile; getting an error. In the last case you could use the definite article "the" since you are referring to the particular error. Also, please add two spaces after the period ending a sentence. With no spaces, it is hard to read.
Also, the question mark ends a sentence so "?." is redundant.
Also, capitalize the pronoun "I". "But I can't find it in my pc."

I hope you don't mind these corrections. Thanks.
