==="Makefile:311:*** missing separator. Stop." or "Makefile, line 312: Unexpected end of line seen." when compiling DBD with iODBC support===


**Problem**

When running "make test" or "make" when compiling Perl DBD with iODBC support (see [[http://www.iodbc.org/odbc-perlHOWTO.html]] for more information on this process), you receive one of the above error messages.

**Background**

CPAN development is aware that DBD::ODBC 1.06 June 19, 2003 has Makefile.PL bug, such that the following is created in the "Makefile":

{{{
config :: $(changes_pm)
@$(NOOP)
}}}

Before the "{{{@$(NOOP)}}}" there are most likely spaces instead of tab. This causes make(1) to complain with one of the above errors.

**Solution**

1. Before the "@" sign in DBD's "Makefile" file, replace the spaces with a tab and save.

2. Re-run "make" (or "make test").|
