Re: How to simplify this makefile?

[Karl Berry]

    `..\Materials\PT3443Color.pdf'.  Stop.

The rule I sent:
..\Materials\00%.pdf : 00%.ppt

says that
..\Materials\00anything.pdf depends on 00anything.ppt.
Since that's what it seemed like you were asking for.

But now this example says that it's not always 00 in the filename.
..\Materials\%.pdf : %.ppt
would say that anything.pdf in \Materials depends on anything.ppt in the
current directory.

But I'm not sure if that's what you really need either.  Can you
describe your setup, if you don't just want to give up :)?
