Problem compiling VLC

[Tim Anderson]

Hi, I tried compiling VLC under MAC OS X, and I ran into a problem. After
downloading from the CVS, I used the configure command, which worked fine. I
then tried the make command, and got the following error:

[~/vlc] tim% make
"makefile", line 5: Missing dependency operator
"makefile", line 6: Need an operator
"makefile", line 7: Need an operator
"makefile", line 164: Missing dependency operator
"makefile", line 166: Need an operator
"makefile", line 168: Missing dependency operator
"makefile", line 170: Need an operator
"makefile", line 172: Missing dependency operator
"makefile", line 174: Need an operator
Error expanding embedded variable.

I'm relatively new to unix, especially compiling programs. Thanks for any
help!

Here's the first few lines of the makefile. Since the errors all seem to be
about the same, I thought I'd see if there's something wrong with the first
few lines which might also be wrong further into the file.

###############################################################
# vlc (VideoLAN Client) main Makefile - (c)1998 VideoLAN

ifeq ($(shell [ ! -r Makefile.opts ] && echo 1),)
    include Makefile.opts
endif

###############################################################
