[news.software.b] Problem with Makefile

kevin@Lindy.STANFORD.EDU (Scott 'NOT' Ian) (01/28/88)

I tried compiling the netnews software recently, and got an error message
from make:

Make: Must be a seperator on rules line 124.  Stop.

For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was going on.  Eventually
I resorted to the ugly task of hand-compiling everything.  I got the
stuff to work, but I'd like to know what's the deal here so that I
can re-compile in an easier way if I need to in the future.

This is News B 2.11 patchlevel 14 on an IBM RT PC running AIX (Sys V).

Any help would be appreciated.
