Windows (or MacOS) use filesystems which are case-insensitive.  However,
UNIX/Linux use filesystems that are case-sensitive.

So, your directory "helloWorld" (capital W), on UNIX and Linux, is not
the same thing as the directory "helloworld" (lowercase w) that is
listed in your makefile.  Hence your error.

Cheers!
