Did you actually run make? Was this the *exact message* you received?
This is the error I get when I try to run a bogus program from make:
make: g+++: Command not found
Note that the makefile fragment you provided looks suspicious: it
appears to contain seven spaces as the indentation of the g++ line,
although I suspect it might have been mangled by gmail, otherwise you
would have gotten a different error message from make.

It's more likely that you made a mistake somewhere or your Cygwin
environment is not set up correctly. To help us diagnose the latter,
please follow:

, especially http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html#cygcheck
This will help us to understand what your Cygwin environment contains
and how it's set up.
Just for curiosity, try changing your makefile to the following and
running make:
all:
which g++
g++ main.cpp -o test
Hope this helps,
