[Info-vax] xmkmf and make

I have some old X11/Motif source code with Imake files.
When I do xmkmf -a, the make program chokes on a line in then Makefile 
"MSimpleProgramTarget(program).
The error make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 535: Unexpected 
end of line seen.
I've inserted a tab before the command inside the Makefile, but get the 
same error on the same line.


I've seen the same thing on OS X Leopard and also in OpenSuse 11.3.

Seeing that DECWindows also uses Motif and X, does xmkmf also work for VMS?

It seems that something isn't set up correctly and I've looked all over 
Google with no real explanations or results.
Any ideas as to what I'm overlooking or doing wrong?
