What can possibly cause the following error in a make
file:
makefile:5: missing separator (did you mean TAB
instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.
Any help will be appreciated.

It means that your makefile has spaces instead of tabs. This is a
syntatic "no-no".
# INCORRECT
target:
<spaces>gcc blah.c
# CORRECT
target:
<TAB>gcc blah.c
