Subject: | DOS gnu Make automatic variable / implicit rule question |

Hello list,
I'm trying to use a gnu makefile for what I think should be a simple straight forward sort of thing. I want to set up an implicit rule that dos the following:
If "foo.in" is newer than "foo.out" then run the DOS command "fubar foo". I set up my rule thusly:
%.out : %.in
./fubar $%
I enter the following command at my DOS prompt:
make foo.out -n
and what I get out of it is the command:
./fubar
and not what I desired, that is:
./fubar foo
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide. Also, for my own future reference, is there an e-mail archive somewhere that I could search? I doubt I'm the first person to look for this information and I really hate bugging everyone.
Thanks again,
Mike
