NMAKE Fatal Error U1035
syntax error : expected ':' or '=' separator
Either a colon (:) or an equal sign (=) was expected.
Possible causes
- A colon did not follow a target.
- A colon and no space (such as a:) followed a single-letter target. NMAKE interpreted it as a drive specification.
- A colon did not follow an inference rule.
- A macro definition was not followed by an equal sign.
- A character followed a backslash (\) that was used to continue a command to a new line.
- A string appeared that did not follow any NMAKE syntax rule.
- The makefile was formatted by a word processor.
