Hi,
Thanks very much for your help $(eval ...) works a treat now I've
upgrade to 3.80 and figured it out.
Copying the example in the info I used
AVIF := $(wildcard */*-cnt.avi)
AVI := $(notdir $(AVIF:%-cnt.avi=%))
define AVIP
$(1)/$(1)-cnt.avi: $(1)/fct.mat
endef
$(foreach prog,$(AVI),$(eval $(call AVIP,$(prog))))
$(AVIF):
command to update $@
Jim
Thanks for your help.
I can't find $(eval ...) anywhere in the info documentation
