Your makefile has been saved with DOS/Windows line endings (CRLF). The version of GNU make you're using (which is pretty old, BTW) doesn't understand DOS/Windows line endings, it only understands UNIX line endings (LF).
You will need to either upgrade to a newer version of GNU make (the current latest version is 3.79.1) or change your Makefile back to use only UNIX line endings (there are various small programs that can assist you with this, probably, but I'm not familiar with them on Windows platforms) and be careful in the future to only use editors which use UNIX line endings.
