Pattern matching dependency problem

[George Shaw]

Hi,

I have a simple problem, but I can't seem to find an answer for it.

I have a variable list of files that I need to compile, so I would like to
build the list dynamically.  No problem doing this using wildcard, etc.  And
I process them using pattern matching.  But these files are dependent on
other files that have a similar, but not identical name.

If it were identical, I can use a rule:

   %.c: %.h

But in this case, I would like to do a subst on the dependency:

   %c: %(subst, from,to,%).h

This fails, as the subst is resolved before the stem.

Can anybody suggest a way I implement this in my makefile, for example
process a list of files cfgtfr_xxx.c each dependent on the file cfg_xxx.h,
where the string xxx is variable for each item in the list.

Thanks,

G.
