^M == ASCII CR (Carriage Return)
Well, the problem should be obvious now: you've been editing the
makefile with silly editors that think that lines end with CRLF or
just CR instead of just LF. The result is all those stray CRs that
sometimes _look_ like they ended a line but that don't actually do so.
IIRC, as far as GNU make is concerned, CR is just whitespace like a
normal space. So, what you have is the same as:
APP_NAME=lama
all:<tab>(cd src; $(MAKE)) #; $(MAKE) -C src
I suggest doing the following for each Makefile involved to replace
each CR with a LF:
tr \\15 \\12 < Makefile > temp_file
mv temp_file Makefile
Then edit the files to be correctly formatted using an editor that
won't insert invisible garbage, and *don't* edit makefiles across file
shares mounted between UNIX and Windows.
