Expandable dependencies variables

[Miguel Guedes]

Hello List!


Is it possible to set dependencies in variables and then have GNU Make 
expand these dependencies? For instance, let's say we have a project 
that builds two binaries, foo and bar. Each of foo and bar have their 
own dependencies as defined below:


BINARIES := foo bar

FOO_OBJECTS := foo_obj_1 foo_obj_2
BAR_OBJECTS := bar_obj_1 bar_obj_2


Now, how would one setup a generic Makefile such that for each target 
defined in $(BINARIES) the dependencies $($<_OBJECTS) are added 
automatically? Perhaps I'm being too ambitious and this isn't possible 
at all?

I've read up on the .SECONDEXPANSION special rule but I don't think that 
would allow for what I'm after.

Many thanks!

Miguel
