At present, GNU make version 3.80 permits the use of colons in filenames by escaping them:
foo\:bar.txt: touch $@ However, if I use $(wildcard ..) to select a number of files from the file system (one or more that include colons in their names), I get an error from make about multiple targets in the make rule due to the multiple colons. Shouldn't $(wildcard ..) escape colons, too? Thanks, Ben _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
