Makefile cannot find separator
Hello. I recently have been trying to use the autotools in a already existing program that I used an IDE before. I started to follow this tutorial: autoconf automake tutorial

And it was going well until came the hour of I assuming the end-user job. ./configure runned ok, but when I typed "make" in the top level directory, I received this:

Code:
make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/media/34GB/demos/asmfrt'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/media/34GB/demos/asmfrt/src'
Makefile:510: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/media/34GB/demos/asmfrt/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/media/34GB/demos/asmfrt'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I opened the makefile in the src dir, went to line 510 and I saw this:

Code:
.

Yes, there is a single '.' in the line

The previous line is a blank line and the succeeding line is another '.'

So, what might be going on and how to fix it. Thanks for your time
