Unfortunately I couldn’t get any of my makefiles to work, whenever I ran “Make” I’d get the rather unspecific error:

Unexpected end of line seen

The problem was occurring in Unix and Ubuntu Linux, so it wasn’t platform specific.

Solution

Use tabs (\t) instead of spaces. I have all of my text editors configured to use four spaces instead of \t because my university programming assignments always seem to state this requirement.

Replacing “    ” with “\t” did the trick for me.
