I am trying to extract a portion of the stem of a target of a pattern rule
for use in the prerequisite list.
Suppose I have a target file: 'foo.PATTERN.c'
I want to this target to have a prerequisite:
'someDirectory/PATTERN.anotherSuffix'
I seem to recall some mention of this but can't find it in make 3.79 manual.
I could not find make 3.80 html manual available anywhere online and the
source distribution gives no instruction on how to build html form texinfo
sources.
I want 'make foo.PATTERN.c' to make PATTERN
I do not know what the explicit value, PATTERN, will be ahead of time so I
cannot simply use it in the pattern rule.
I'm looking for something along the lines of the following (although suffix
function isn't quite what I need):
%.c: $(suffix $*) %
@echo $@
PATTERN:
@echo $@
Thanks,
Greg Keraunen
