There's a section in the GNU make manual on error messages which will
explain it.
This is GNU make's generic "syntax error" message. However, 95% of the
time it's because you're using spaces instead of a TAB character when
indenting command scripts; in a command like this:
all:
@echo foo
The indentation of the second line _MUST_ be a TAB, not any kind of
whitespace.
