On the fly expansion of make targets

[Ossama Othman]

Hi,

Is there any way to achieve the following portably?

source = test.foo              # assume it exists
source_suffixes = bar baz
targets = \
  $(shell base=`echo $(source) | sed -e 's/\..*$$//'`; t= ; for p in 
$(source_suffixes); do t="$$t $$base$$p"; done; echo $$t)

$(targets): $(source)
        $(SOME_COMMAND) $?

The is to generate the following on-the-fly:

testbar testbaz: test.foo
        $(SOME_COMMAND) $?

Thanks,
-Ossama
