I'm trying to make a Game engine and it works except for this

Circular Main <- Main.o dependency dropped.

What does that mean?

heres my main file.

1#include "GameEngine.h"
2 
3int main()
4{
  GameEngine* GameEngine1;
  GameEngine1.LockTimers();
  GameEngine1.SpetSpeed();
  install_int_ex(GameEngine1.SpeedTime,BPS_TO_TIMER(60));
  BITMAP*buffer;
  GameEngine1.SetUp(32,buffer);
  while(!key[KEY_ESC])
  {
      draw_screen(buffer);
      rest(100);
  }
  return 0;
17}END_OF_MAIN();

It means your Makefile is broken. You appear to be trying to compile Main as the source file, where you should be compiling Main.cpp.

1	#include "GameEngine.h"
2
3	int main()
4	{
5	GameEngine* GameEngine1;
6	GameEngine1.LockTimers();
7	GameEngine1.SpetSpeed();
8	install_int_ex(GameEngine1.SpeedTime,BPS_TO_TIMER(60));
9	BITMAP*buffer;
10	GameEngine1.SetUp(32,buffer);
11	while(!key[KEY_ESC])
12	{
13	draw_screen(buffer);
14	rest(100);
15	}
16	return 0;
17	}END_OF_MAIN();

My stupid compiler error
