If I have a set of files *.foo that are “compiled” to a set of *.bar using a foo2bar some.foo “compiler” I can write a Makefile like this:
%.bar: %.foo
<tab>foo2bar $<
However if there are no *.bar yet, I can’t just type something like make all and have all the *.bar produced.
How do I tell make to create all missing targets that match *.bar?
Provided you are using GNU make (which you seem to be since you used the %-notation already):
