Somewhere there's no tab where there should be.  GNU make expects tabs
in certain places:

atarget: adependent
	atabindentedcommand

If you editted the Makefile in a text editor that converts tabs to
spaces, you have to fix it.

Try Cygwin, a native (more or less) Win32 port of GCC and many many
tools.  It uses a dll that provides some of the functionality that
Windows lacks but UNIX does not.  DJGPP does not, technically,
interface with Windows (correct me if I'm wrong).
