Question on making all *.o files into a lib

[helge . fredriksen]

Hello!

I'm wondering if there is a nice way to use wildcards in make.
I want to use this for making all *.o files in a specific catalogue
into a lib file, like for instance

libsomething.a:   somecatalogue/*.o
                ar rcv libsomething.a  somecatalogue/*.o
                ranlib libsomething.a

Best regards,
Helge Fredriksen
