Makefile Problem

[BadWolf]

Hi,

I downloaded a set of files from http://www.dk.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb....bin/compress/ and am currently trying to get the make file to compile. The makefile provided is as follows:

# @(#)Makefile 8.2 (Berkeley) 4/17/94
# $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/compress/Makefile,v 1.8.18.1 2008/11/25 02:59:29 kensmith Exp $

PROG= compress
SRCS= compress.c zopen.c
LINKS= ${BINDIR}/compress ${BINDIR}/uncompress
MLINKS= compress.1 uncompress.1
WARNS?= 6

# XXX zopen is not part of libc
# MAN=zopen.3

.include <bsd.prog.mk>

when running the command make, it kept returning "*** missing separator. Stop." errors. I played around with it, and make seems to be happier with "include /usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk", however bsd.prog.mk uses the same form as above to include other files, and thus in turn causes the same missing separator errors, and of course this problem becomes recursive, as files call upon other bsd files, which call upon others.

Does anyone know whether this is a problem with my make progam? Or how this problem may be easily resolved?

Thank you,

BadWolf
