RE: Must be very simple

[PATTON, BILLY \(SBCSI\)]

Over 450 + directories -I would be too large.

I'm working on a rule

all : inc_makefiles

.NONPARALLEL : inc_makefile

inc_makefile :
<tab>$(foreach ...

But this will not work.

I must have these variables alive for the creation of rules before any
rules fire.

wildcard will work if I know if the first directory exists.  If it
doesn't I don't want to wildcard the second directory
I could K's of duplicate variables.

See my info about $(wildcard ...).

Of course, the normal way to do this is invoke make with -I:

    make -I $(SRC_TREE) -I $(OTHER_DIR) ...

then just use:

    include make.include

and make will walk the list of -I directories and include the first
"make.include" it finds.
