Commands, such as $(error ...), are not allowed to be indented with tabs outside of targets, throwing an error instead of outputting the actual error. The solution is to use innocuous spaces instead. Ideally, spaces should be used everywhere outside targets, but since make does not mind it if variable assignments are tab-indented outside targets, a complete overhaul is not necessary. However, if more errors are added, it might make more sense to be consistent. Also, make will already add a period so I removed it.

You can easily see what happens by creating a simple Makefile:
Try tab-indenting the error, and you will see the error (at least for GNU make 3.81):
The problem is resolved if you switch to spaces.
