I have an Imakefile. I use xmkmf -a and get

mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/share/X11/config make Makefiles Makefile:1056: *** missing separator. Stop.

I shocked. I look in Makefile in LINE 1056.

LocalCompileDefault

is in this line. What's the problem now ????

Does it mean something wrong with Imakefile? But I check Makefile line 1056 and no space issue. ????????

I generate from Imakefile using xmkmf -a

lines above LocalCompileDefault are:

Some if and ifend statements are directly above.

#if CPPBUILD Files := $(Files) sample.file #endif

Before that list of file

Files=\ sample1.file\ sample2.file\ etc...\ finalfile

before that

VPATH = VpathDir:. FINAL_OBJECT = idontknow.o

I usually got this when space is used instead of `tab` – dlmeetei Aug 02 '17 at 04:42
there is `no space` or `tab` – Peter Aug 02 '17 at 04:52
May be you should share the makefile – dlmeetei Aug 02 '17 at 04:53
I sharing the line in question The FILE tOOO BIG TO SHARE – Peter Aug 02 '17 at 04:55
but if I add `tab` before `LocalCompileDefault` then I get message: `Makefile:1056: *** recipe comences bfore first target. Stop.` – Peter Aug 02 '17 at 05:02
please recall. I do not create makefile. I use `xmkmf` that generates `makefile`. So, `no space` might not be problem ?? – Peter Aug 02 '17 at 05:14
