Try
using $* instead of $%. That should give you the stem of the
target.

Subject: DOS
gnu Make automatic variable / implicit rule question
Hello list,
I'm trying to use a gnu makefile
for what I think should be a simple straight forward sort of thing. I
want to set up an implicit rule that dos the following:
If "foo.in" is newer than
"foo.out" then run the DOS command "fubar foo". I set up my rule
thusly:
%.out :
%.in
./fubar
$%
I enter the following command at
my DOS prompt:
make foo.out
-n
and what I get out of it is the
command:
./fubar
and not what I desired, that
is:
./fubar foo
Thanks in advance for any insight
you can provide. Also, for my own future reference, is there an e-mail
archive somewhere that I could search? I doubt I'm the first person to
look for this information and I really hate bugging
everyone.
Thanks again,
Mike
