Clean and rebuild directory error in Makefile

Clean and rebuild directory error in Makefile

After reading the reports, and Jeff's advice, on the matter captioned,  "Questions on debugger and code optimization", I tried to overcome my own version of the same problem by using 'Clean'. 

My project CLEANs and re-compiles/rebuilds as before.
It also uses a static library I created a while ago called, 'iolib'.
I therefore re-opened iolib.prj and CLEANed that as well.
I expected this to work smoothly, and I planned to rebuild it then go back to teh main project, CLEAN that again, then re-compile/rebuild, and try the debugger again.

When trying to re-compile/rebuild my iolib library, however, it failed unexpectedly.

The BUILD STATUS error message was this:

I noticed it has this in it, near the top:

IDIR=-IG:/IoLib/../INCLUDE -IG:/IoLib/../MODULES
# -I error: Directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Fortran\SF\mingw-w64\include\ does not exist

I therefore looked at the directory structure.
I should explain that
(i)   I always install Simply Fortran in this location:
      c:\Program Files (x86)\FORTRAN\SF\{all the simply fortran subdirectories}
(ii)  I map this pathname to what I call my F:\ drive to .
(iii) I map my project directories to what I call my G:\ drive.

When I looked inside the SF subdirectories, I noticed that the error message appearing in the makefile was indeed correct. 
That is to say,  Directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Fortran\SF\mingw-w64\include\ does not exist

I dug deeper, and found that there IS an 'incllude' subdirectory, but one layer deeper.
There are two, in fact:
c:\Program Files (x86)\FORTRAN\SF\mingw-w64\mingw\include\
c:\Program Files (x86)\FORTRAN\SF\mingw-w64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\

I got no further.
