Re: Execute command for each file in list?

[Garrett Cooper]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but:

a) isn't there a tab in front of the foreach already, i.e. is it necessary?
b) isn't a tab required in the define rule?

Also, isn't the parentheses supposed to be as so:

$(call

instead of:

$call (

Paul and Sam's solutions are much smarter though, as define is most
likely not what you want here...
