Make unfortunately depends on hard-tabs for the recipes. Your editor probably switched it to spaces.

If you cut & paste the makefile in the blogpost, you’ll discover that the blog itself has converted the tabs in the makefile to spaces. Not very helpful to any confused newbies out there!
Yep, that's exactly what happened. Thanks for the explications.

I actually did know that once, but forgot. Make definitely has its hidden traps.

I’ve made a comment to that effect on the original blog post. Hopefully they’ll be able to fix it.
Now fixed!
