title: Can you make valid Makefiles without tab characters?
body: <pre><code>target: dependencies
      command1
      command2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On my system (Mac OS X), <code>make</code> seems to require that that Makefiles have a tab character preceding the the content of each <code>command</code> line, or it throws a syntax error.</p>
  
  <p>This is an annoyance when creating or editing Makefiles because I have my editor set up to be all-spaces-all-the-time.</p>
