Makefile: multiple target variable substitution
Greetings!

Basically, I would like to properly handle this with gnu make:

alltools: my_tool mysecond_tool mythird_tool etc_tool

%_tool: dir1/%_tool.vf dir2/%_tool/subdir2/%_tool.ver
<tab>@echo done

%.vf:
<tab>RUN_VF $*

%.ver:
<tab>RUN_VER $*

So, if I were to do something like:
UNIX> make alltools

Where each *_tool would be dependent on 2 files: dir1/*_tool.vf & dir2/*_tool/subdir2/*_tool.ver.

However, it looks like make only allows one substitution per dependency. So what make actually tries to make are these files (for my_tool):
dir1/my_tool.vf & dir2/my_tool/subdir2/%_tool.ver

'my' did not get substituted into '%' at both places in the second dependency.

So, my question is, can this be done with some other special variable? Or, is there a simple trick to getting around this?

Thanks in advance!
Harlin!

makefile::ast

Makefile::AST(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Makefile::AST(3pm)

NAME

       Makefile::AST - AST for (GNU) makefiles

DESCRIPTION

       The structure of this (GNU) makefile AST is designed based on GNU make's data base listing output produced by "--print-data-base".

       This AST library provides the following classes:

       Makefile::AST
	   The primary class for ASTs. Provides interface for node adding and querying, such as "add_implicit_rule", "apply_implicit_rules",
	   "add_explicit_rule", "apply_explicit_rules", "add_var", "add_auto_var", "get_var", as well as lots of other utility functions, like
	   method "eval_var_value" for computing the ultimate values of makefile variables, method "enter_pad" and "leave_pad" for local
	   variable's scoping pad.

       Makefile::AST::Rule::Base
	   This is the base class for the rule nodes in the AST. It has properties like "normal_prereqs", "order_prereqs", "commands", and
	   "colon".

       Makefile::AST::Rule
	   This class represents the de-sugared form of simple rules and implicite rules after application. It inherits from
	   Makefile::AST::Rule::Base, and adds new properties "target" and "other_targets".

       Makefile::AST::Rule::Implicit
	   This class represents the implicit rule nodes in the AST. It inherits from Makefile::AST::Rule::Base, and adds new properties
	   "targets", "match_anything", and "is_terminal".

       Makefile::AST::StemMatch
	   This class encapsulates the file pattern matching (file names containing "%") and stem substitution algorithms.

       Makefile::AST::Variable
	   It represents the makefile variable nodes in the AST, including "name", "value", "flavor", and "origin".

       Makefile::AST::Command
	   Used to encapsulate information regarding makefile rule commands (e.g. command body, command modifiers "@", "-", "+", and etc.) as a
	   whole.

LIMITATIONS AND TODO

       Adding support for other flavors' makes into this AST library should make a huge amount of sense. The most interesting candiate is
       Microsoft's NMAKE.
