[comp.unix.aix] Imake confusion

davee@cyclone.mitre.org (D. N. Edwards) (03/21/91)

Greetings!

     If "imake" questions belong in a FAQ, my apologies.  I'm having a tough
time understanding the error message below.  It sure LOOKS like line 4 has
a separator character.  Thanks in advance for any hints.

                                                      - Dave

/u/davee> imake -T/usr/lpp/X11/Xamples/util/imake.includes Makefile
Make: make: 1254-040 Rule line 4 must include a separator character.
   Stop.
imake: Signal 1.  Stop.

One of your makefiles had its tabs expanded to spaces.
Or one of your imakefiles.  Look for lines with eight leading spaces.
