how to use wildcard in prerequisite

[hans . peter . van . lohuizen]

Hi, 

I want to define a dependency for several files in the cmd directory like this:

%project/out : %cmd/*.tcl
This failed, the * did not expand as far as I could see.

Now I tried:
%project/out : %$(wildcard cmd/*.tcl)

Now I was surpised to see only the first .tcl file get the % expanded. All the other files did not !(just cmd/<file>.tcl)
So this did not work either.

Now I tried a work around like:
CMD = $(shell ls cmd/*.tcl | sed 's/cmd/%cmd/')
%project/out: $CMD

Now it works as I would expect.
(This actually reproduces a hand made list of %cmd/<files>.tcl which worked also.)

Now I wonder, is there really not a better way to do this other than "hacking" by shell commands?
Could this be a bug?

thanks, 

Hans Peter.
