Stop. > This error usually happens because a command that make is supposed to run didn't start with a tab. That's a real tab, not just 8 spaces. If you edit a makefile with dos's edit.com, it would cause a problem like this. It should be easy to fix with rhide. Open the makefile in rhide, then click edit -> compress text, save and quit. Then try running make. If you still get this error, then I don't know what the problem is.
