Make 3.79, solaris 2.7. I run make -n on the following Makefile (which is just a long variable assignment). Get following error: Makefile:25: *** commands commence before first target. Stop. Removing a single space from the beginning of the line with changingprivacy.html makes the error go away, I then get the correct make: Nothing to be done for `default'. There is no trailing whitespace on any of the continuation lines.
