You can't. b> Something like this: b> %.cc: $(dir $@) b> echo "Pre:" $^ b> %.cc: $(dir %.cc) b> echo "Pre:" $^ Variables (and functions) in targets and prerequisites are expanded as the makefile is read in, long before either automatic variables like $@ exist or patterns like %.cc have been matched. In general it's not a good idea (IMO) to depend on a directory anyway: it will cause your code to rebuild in many situations where it's not necessary. The GNU make manual has an alternate suggestion on how to get directories created by the build system. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
