Shell command lines in make _MUST_ start with a TAB character.  Your
makefile has 8 spaces instead of a TAB in the last two rules.  A number
of Windows editors will "helpfully" convert TABs to spaces automatically
for you; find one that doesn't when you edit makefiles.

If you get a newer version of GNU make, make will suggest this problem
when it detects this situation.  Also, the new GNU make manual has a
section describing the error messages GNU make generates and what they
often mean.


Not sure what you mean by your question about pre-processors for
makefiles... ?
