Libxlsxwriter build error on HP-UX

Question

I'm trying to compile a library libxlsxwriter by following instruction available on https://libxlsxwriter.github.io/getting_started.html

I'm on HP-UX dev B.11.31 U ia64 unlimited-user license.

Getting error Make: Must be a separator on rules line 11. Stop.

I followed many options like converting spaces to tab, as this makefile was already shipped with libxlsxwriter - I don't see any tab and space issues.

I've included my (non-modified) makefile which shows end of lines and tabs as well.

DEVX2:libxlsxwriter-master [208] cat -e -t -v Makefile

您可能需要使用gmake代替FreeBSD和OpenBSD的make或使用cmake 。
