I'm having enourmous amounts of problems trying to compile my programs
using the MAKE command of DJGPP!  My makefile looks something like this:

Now I'm rather new to the field of MAKE so I just want to make sure that
this is the right method of doing it:

// (Not part of code) Will attempt to compile gamelib.a from object.o
(if object.o is new)

gamelib.a : object.o
        ar rcs gamelib.a object.o

// (Not part of code) if object.o is old it will re-compile!

object.o : object.cc
        gcc -g -c object.cc -o object.o

Now after typing MAKE at the command prompt I get the message:

makefile:2: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Can anybody help me get my makefile working properly

PS.  Does the name of the file have to be:  MAKEFILE?
