pattern-specific variables don't work like that: they don't have pattern
replacement capability.
Why don't you just say:
CASE_DIR = /somewhere/case_$*
case_%:
@echo "The case directory is ${CASE_DIR}"
? The $* variable matches the pattern, and since you use "=" instead of
":=" the right-hand side is not evaluated until it's used inside the
recipe.
See the GNU make manual for details on these.
