This normally means one of two things:

 (1) Your makefile has spaces instead of tabs at the beginning of lines
     which are indented.

 (2) Your makefile's line endings are not correct for your platform.
     Specifically, if you're on Unix, your makefile probably has MS-DOS
     line endings; if you're on DOS, then your makefile may have Unix
     line endings.

     Unix line endings are just "linefeed" (\n) characters.  MS-DOS line
     endings are CR-LF pairs (\r\n).  Macintosh line endings are just CR
     (\r).
