The error make: *** missing separator occurs in a Makefile when a tab character is replaced with spaces before a command. Each command in a Makefile must be preceded by a tab character, not spaces.

To fix this error, ensure that a tab character (not spaces) precedes your commands:

run:
<tab>command

Replace <tab> with a real tab character to resolve the issue.
