Hi, I'm trying to implement the following in the make file: Suppose I have few source files. I can create the list of targets corresponding to each source. I need to create the rule which builds the targets from sources. Here is the example: SOURCES := \ dir1/subdir1/file1 \ dir2/subdir2/file2 TEST:=file3 TARGETS = $(addprefix dir3/subdir3/, $(notdir $(SOURCES))) $(TARGETS): dir3/subdir3/% : $(foreach src,$(SOURCES),$(if $(findstring $(notdir $(src)),%),$(src),$(dir $(src))%)) echo 'target: $@, source: $<' all: $(TARGETS) Do not be surprised with the rule: I've tried a lot of versions (much simpler than this one) but no one works. It looks that if I use the stem (%) or even the SysV $$(@F) neither $(filter) nor $(findstring) works. For example, if I write $(TARGETS): $(filter %$$(@F), anystring/$$(@F) anystring2/$$(@F) ) it works, make produses the following: make -k all make: *** No rule to make target `anystring/file1', needed by `dir3/subdir3/file1'. make: *** No rule to make target `anystring2/file1', needed by `dir3/subdir3/file1'. make: *** No rule to make target `anystring/file2', needed by `dir3/subdir3/file2'. make: *** No rule to make target `anystring2/file2', needed by `dir3/subdir3/file2'. make: Target `all' not remade because of errors. But it fails if I replace it with $(TARGETS): $(filter %$$(@F), $(SOURCES) ) make -k all echo 'target: dir3/subdir3/file1, source: ' target: dir3/subdir3/file1, source: echo 'target: dir3/subdir3/file2, source: ' target: dir3/subdir3/file2, source: Why it is so???!!!
