Oh. $@ is "bin/animation.exe" so $(@F) is "animation.exe" and
$($(@F)_OBJ) would be "animation.exe_OBJ" but that's not the name of
your variable, so it expands to the empty string.
Sorry I didn't catch this problem in your original suggestion.
You want:
bin/%.exe: $$($$*_OBJ) $(LIBS)
...
because $* matches the pattern stem, which is "animation" in this case.
