Makefile:1: *** missing separator. Stop.

[HtcOrange]

I want to use kubemark to test the cluster. But when I wanna to install it by source code, in the step of compiling, the error occured as follows:

archlab@GG-135:~/gocode/src/k8s.io/kubernetes$ KUBE_BUILD_PLATFORMS=linux/amd64  make kubemark GOFLAGS=-v GOGCFLAGS="-N -l"
Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

And the Makefile is only one line:

build/root/Makefile
# There is no "tab" or "space" in front of the line above

Could someone tell me what is the problem? I am so eager to know what was wrong with me? Thank you very much!!!

Hello, I also encountered the same problem. have you solved the problem?

I wasn't able to reproduce it at HEAD. KUBE_BUILD_PLATFORMS=linux/amd64 make kubemark GOFLAGS=-v GOGCFLAGS="-N -l" worked just fine.

Could you try to re-run make at the current HEAD?

I had the same problem.

Here is a workaround :

Remove the Makefile and Makefile.generated_files files :
rm Makefile Makefile.generated_files

Create the symlinks :
ln -s build/root/Makefile Makefile
ln -s build/root/Makefile.generated_files Makefile.generated_files

This solution worked for me !
