Re: make: using wildcard in rule based on stem

Found it. Just for someone stumbles upon this, here is what I did.
It has something to do with the automatic variable scope. I don't fully understand it, but this is the solution to the problem

.SECONDEXPANSION:
$(OBJS): %.html: %.in $$(wildcard *.$$*)
    do_it $< 

For target sample.html, it depends on sample.in and on all files *.sample in the directory.
