May I sugest you to try to google for this error message...

This looks like what is causing you troubles:
http://www.mail-archive.com/help-make@.../msg06225.html

In other words - you have added a tab and some stuff
at a random place in the makefile.

Please include the full Makefile - or at least the lines around
line 69 if you need more help.

That is not a command.  That's an option.  It's supposed to be added to
a variable or similar.  Without knowing more about your environment
there's little else we can say.

That's because the change you've made is illegal make syntax.
