This won't work because the expansion order is wrong: all variables and functions are expanded FIRST, before the static patterns are handled. So, $(wildcard %*) is expanded literally and, unless you have some files that begin with "%" in your directory, it expands to the empty string. r> I didn't get far enough to try to filter the extensions I want, I'm r> just trying to get the equivalent of bash's "ls %*" where % means r> the target name. Is this possible? The only way you can do something like this without writing a separate line for every target is to use the eval function (first available in GNU make 3.80), or to use the "auto-re-exec" trick. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
