makefile error: “make: *** No rule to make target …” - makefile

Question

I'm trying to use GCC (linux) with a makefile to compile my project.
I get the following error
"No rule to make target 'output/src/main.o', needed by 'test'. Stop."
This is the makefile:
COMPILE_PREX ?=
CC = $(COMPILE_PREX)gcc
SOURCE = $(wildcard src/*.c)
OBJS = $(addprefix ./output/, $(patsubst %.c, %.o, $(SOURCE)))
INCLUDES = -I ./src
CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -g
LDFLAGS += -lpthread
TARGET = test
$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(TARGET)
%.o: %.c
#mkdir -p ./output
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $(addprefix ./output/, $#) -c $<
clean:
rm -rf ./output

This should work. Note the use of mkdir $(#D) to create output directories as needed.
COMPILE_PREX ?=
CC = $(COMPILE_PREX)gcc
SOURCE = $(wildcard src/*.c)
OBJS = $(addprefix output/, $(patsubst %.c, %.o, $(SOURCE)))
INCLUDES = -I src
CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -g
LDFLAGS += -lpthread
TARGET = test
$(TARGET): $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(TARGET)
output/%.o: %.c
#mkdir -p $(#D)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $# -c $<
clean:
rm -rf output
Running it here with make clean test:
rm -rf output
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I src -o output/src/hello.o -c src/hello.c
gcc output/src/hello.o -lpthread -o test
