Hi,
make fails ambiguously if the Makefile has non-tab whitespace after a
multiline variable definition that gets expanded to the target of a
rule:
Makefile:12: *** commands commence before first target. Stop.
(The error number varies between 12,13,14 or even 28 (tabstop) error)
It should pinpoint the error (with line number).
Version:
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for sparc-sun-solaris2.6
Running on Solaris 8.
Thanks a lot guys!
Best regards,
Stephen
