re: Question with gmake 3.80 and substitution references

[Martin d'Anjou]

John,

One thing I have noticed with substitution references and pattern rules is
that if the pattern does not fully match the entire content of the
variable, it won't do the expected thing.

Instead, seperate the .c from the .cpp and see what you get:

C_LIB_FILES = junk.c

CPP_LIB_FILES=EarRecorder.cpp \
Engagement.cpp

# Include all dependency files
-include $(CPP_LIB_FILES:%.cpp=$(DEPEND_DIR)/%.P)
-include $(C_LIB_FILES:%.c=$(DEPEND_DIR)/%.P)

Make is powerful, but I wish there was another way, but I don't know what 
the other way should be, so I stick with make.
