Dynamic targets

[Thomas.Grebner]

Hi *,

I have a following problem:

My makefile calls a script which creates several files out of an input file. The names of the created files are not known in advance (and the number is large).

This means, that I can't write the filenames as targets to the makefile.

How can I ensure proper makefile handling of the generated files (like: avoid re generation each time I call gmake, execution of the script only if one or more of the generated files missing, etc?

Any help highly appreciated.

Regards,
Thomas
