Re: make: using wildcard in rule based on stem

[r . grosmann]

It looks as if functions don't accept the % as argument.

When I do

artikel-result.html: xspec/xspec_%-result.html: $(subst a,A,blark)
    @echo $*

I get 'make: *** No rule to make target `blArk', needed by .....'
So the function gets executed. But when I change blurk to % (being the stem)

artikel-result.html: xspec/xspec_%-result.html: $(subst a,A,%)
    @echo $*

I would expect this:
'make: *** No rule to make target `Artikel', needed by .....'
but I get this:
'make: *** No rule to make target `artikel', needed by .....'

Who can explain this and what I can do to make the last subst call working?

thanks, Ruud
