make takes each action line as a separate shell exec. The way
around that is to use a backslash (\) to escape each newline. Then
make will run the entire bunch of lines as one line.
To change the default shell command, equate SHELL=/bin/csh in the
makefile.

You might want to look at pmake, which is much better at this than
make. Do a "man pmake" for more details.
