Then why not simply do: make EXEC-FILE=exec_file SRCS="src_1 src_2 src_3" But if you really want to use your syntax you could also do: EXEC-FILE= $(word 1, $(ARGS)) SRCS = $(wordlist 2, 999, $(ARGS)) > I'm trying to create a "generic" makefile for a non-C compiler.

This creation of files could be done by running a C compiler, but it could also be done with any other tool of your choice. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
