Subject: -51- Why does make(1) complain about syntax errors that I
can't find?

Two possibilities:
- SGI's make sends shell commands to your shell (specified in the
SHELL environment variable), while every other make in the world
uses /bin/sh by default. Put the line "SHELL=/bin/sh" at the top of
a Makefile to tell SGI's make to use /bin/sh.
- Dependency lines in your Makefile may begin with spaces. Some
'make's accept spaces; SGI's requires tabs.
