MacOS build failure. `missing separator` error

For Developers
#1

Hello. Sorry for a bit of amateurish question but it won't let me go any further.

I'm trying to build OpenWrt on MacOS 10.14.6 but make kernel_menuconfig exits with with an error Makefile:37: *** missing separator. Stop. upon building u-boot.

Here's the last lines of make -j1 V=sc kernel_menuconfig:

time: tools/mtd-utils/compile#0.06#0.06#0.18
make[3]: Entering directory `/Volumes/OpenWrt/openwrt/tools/mkimage'

Makefile:37: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[3]: *** [/Volumes/OpenWrt/openwrt/build_dir/host/u-boot-2020.04/.built] Error 2

I've tried to replace every leading space in u-boot Makefile with tab to no avail.

#2

The Xcode bundled version of make is quite old (3.81/82 can't remember). Install make from homebrew 'brew install make' and then link /usr/local/bin/make to /usr/local/bin/gmake and try again.

#3

Thank you. That solved the missing separator error.

Now I'm facing multiple error: unknown type name '__u64'; did you mean '__s64' errors. Is there a way to fix them?
