Using make

I have a source file called test.c. I have then made a
file called Makefile that contains the following:

test:
gcc test.c -o test


I have both the sourcefile and the Makefile in the same
dir. When I from this dir type "make" I get this
error:

mac2 c_assign > make
Makefile:2: *** missing separator. Stop.
mac2 c_assign >


I know it is not necessary to use make for only this
single file but I still would like to know what I am
missing.
