Your question's already been answered. Just wanted to add that you could
get by with a simpler Makefile, relying on implicit rules (which would
also avoid the problem you ran into because you hardcoded a recipe):

$ find
./Makefile
./src
./src/hello.cpp

$ cat Makefile
CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall
EXEN = hello
VPATH = src

all: $(EXEN)

$ make
g++ -O2 -Wall    src/hello.cpp   -o hello

That's all you need. (For the moment.)
