RE: Dependency line needs colon or double colon?

[lrtaylor at micron dot com]

Are you using GNU make or AIX's make?  You need to be using GNU make.
Run 'make -v' to find out.  If it's GNU, you'll know based on the
output.  If it gives you an error, then it's not GNU make.

Thanks,
Lyle

Subject: Dependency line needs colon or double colon?

Hello,

I am trying to compile gcc and am using gnu Make 3.8.0:

make CFGLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2'
\LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap

in AIX 4.3.3

I am getting a series of errors as follows.  I've checked through the
Makefile itself but I don't understand what is wrong.  Is there a
certain
format or set of spaces, tabs required?
