I have a very long make file that I would like to consolidate. It looks like this:


target_a_1: begin
        touch $@
target_a_2: target_a_1
        touch $@
target_b_1: begin
        touch $@
target_b_2: target_b_1
        touch $@
target_c_1: begin
        touch $@
target_c_2: target_c_1
        touch $@
all: target_a_1 target_b_1 target_c1
        touch $@



I would like to change this to look like this pseudo-code:

targets = a b c
foreach(t $targets 
  target_$t_1: begin
          touch $@
  target_$t_2: target_$t_1
          touch $@
)
all: ????


so confused... Is there any way to do this?

Maybe if sysadmins andd tech support used make files I would have gotten a reply

why not just put the looped behaviour you want in a perl script and invoke that from the makefile

Because I need to maintain the make dependencies...
