The module_1/2/.. are sub components of module_top.
Now I want to use a generic make script that is located in the module_top/workdir that will first update all
dependencies of the sub modules and then the dependencies of the module_top.
The result (generic.db) will be put in the correponding ddb dir's below the workdir.
Because of the large number of .vhdl files I want to use a wildcard in my prerequisites list to get a dependence
for all .vhdl files in ../RTL dir.
First I tried the following line: (where % gets the 'stem' value: home/<module>/workdir/)
%ddb/generic.db : %RTL/*.vhdl
This does not work, I get the message: 'gmake: *** No rule to make target'
So obviously the * did not expand.
Now I tried the following:
%ddb/generic.db : %$(wildcard ../RTL/*.vhdl)
This works fine when I only update the toplevel dependencies (so in same dir. as where the makefile is located)
But as soon as I want to update a target of a submodule this does not work anymore.
Again I get the message: 'gmake: *** No rule to make target'
I suspect that somehow the % is not expanding in combination with the wildcard command.
I tried this with the 3.79.1 and the 3.80 gmake releases with the same (failing) result.
Does somebody have a suggestion for me how to get this working?

Hans Peter.
