make has a very stupid relationship with tabs. All actions of every rule are identified by tabs. And, no, four spaces don't make a tab. Only a tab makes a tab.\

Just change your spaces to tabs.

On VS Code, just click the "Space: 4" on the downright corner and change it to tab when editing your Makefile.
