In one of my make make files I do the following:
files_path=$(abspath $(wildcard ../src/*.c))
filt=$(subst /, ,$(files_path))
mod_name_filter=$(filter Module_%,$(filt))
MODULE_NAME=$(mod_name_filter)

$(MODULE_NAME) will contain the directory name I want (i.e. the name Module_
followed by any text)

I have included this make file in another make file which uses
$(MODULE_NAME).
This works fine.

What I actually want is , instead of referencing the variable MODULE_NAME, I
need to paste its value (i.e. the text Module_ followed by any text). This
is required since my module specific make files are supposed to contain the
name of the directory and not a generic reference. I understand this would
require some kind of file write operation. I would like to know if this can
be done in the make framework itself.

Cheers!!
