Sun Make -> GNU Make: query about a rule translation

[sagarshah]

Hi, 

I've been busy migrating my sun makefile architecture to gnumake, and wanted 
to ask about one rule in particular: 

$(FOO)/%httpd.conf : %httpd.conf 

this does not seem to work. i can get around it by renaming my files and 
writing a rule such as: 

$(FOO)/%.httpd.conf : %.httpd.conf 

but of course renaming files is a pain (especially when there are a lot of 
ppl using ur makefile system, u want the transition to be as easy as 
possible). 

Is there another solution that will allow my original rule to work? 

Thanks 

Sagar
