The Makefile example in buildmake.html in Website 2.3 was
not correct for use with xsltproc.  I rewrote it and
checked it into CVS a couple of days ago, so the new
version has not yet been released. But you should be able
to get the doc source file named build-make.xml from the
DocBook SourceForge CVS tree in the website/example directory
and copy the sample Makefile from that:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/docbook

The error about "missing separator" means you replaced the
tab characters in the Makefile with spaces, probably by
cutting and pasting with a mouse.  In a Makefile, the
commands to be executed for a target must have a Tab
character as the first character on the line.
