Fix those two lines before running ./configure and your build should run okay. If you refer to the Makefile in the root directory of the MySQL sources: This has been spotted and fixed, 5.1.22 sources do not contain it any more. I fully agree to requiring tab characters for indenting actions in Makefiles. Sorry for it ever appearing in published sources !

It looks like GNU make worked all the way through but why won't regular make work anymore? Thanks for the info ! The MySQL sources use the autotools (autoconf, automake etc) for building, so the Makefiles you see in the source tarball are really generated from Makefile.am when the source tarball is created. It is easily possible that automake will create a Makefile which can be handled by GNU make, but not by some others - on our build hosts, we install GNU make if needed. We did so on our FreeBSD 6.0 host. I cannot say which change made the Makefiles unusable for BSD make, but most likely using GNU make is easier for you than trying to work around that change. As we use GNU make (almost ?) everywhere, changes in the fitness for other variants will go by unnoticed for the MySQL build team.
