ModelSim vmake problem. Makefile is not properly formatted.

I'm running into an issue with generating a Makefile from ModelSim ASE 12.1 

 

I start by running: 

$ vmake > Makefile 

 

And find that the resulting Makefile is not properly formatted. Instead of lines starting with a tab, lines start with 4 spaces.  

 

Then when I try to run it using: 

$ make -f Makefile 

 

I get output saying 

**make: Nothing to be done for `whole_library'.** 

 

Then if I fix up the makefile I can usually get it to work. So I'm not quite sure if this is a problem with 'vmake', bash, or Linux? 

 

Anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? 

 

**Update** 

I might be an idiot and didn't clean out the .dat files out of the compilation library directory first. I think that's why I got the.. "Nothing to be done for 'whole_library'" error. 

 

In the Emacs vhdl-mode makefile generator I noticed it creates a command called 'clean' to remove the .dat files. I must need to do this first. 

 

Sorry I'm new to this sort of thing and am trying to learn my way around.
