Makefile make8.mk:11: *** missing separator. Stop.

今天在学习makefile的时候遇到一个问题，执行命令的时候老师报：make8.mk:11: *** missing separator.  Stop.的错误。

场景还原:

Makefile文件名:

make8.mk

<span style="font-size:18px;">#this file is just a demo to test the make
define print_target
@echo the make target is $(MAKECMDGOALS)
endef
.PHONY:values clean makecmd
values:
	$(print_target)
clean:
	$(print_target)
	@echo execute the clean target

ifeq($(MAKECMDGOALS),clean)
print_string=the make target is clean
else
print_string=the make target is $(MAKECMDGOALS)
endif
makecmd:
	@echo $(print_string)</span>

执行命令出现一下情况:

desktop:~/work$ make -f make8.mk makecmd
make8.mk:12:
