Update of bug #51311 (project make):
Status: None => Duplicate
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #3:
As pointed out on the mailing list, it's not true that there can only be one
prerequisite containing the pattern character (%). In fact there can be zero,
one, or as many prerequisites containing the pattern character as you like.
Essentially if the target contains a pattern character then it's a pattern
rule: the prerequisites list doesn't matter.
As Mike points out, the reason your example doesn't work is that a pattern
character must match at least one character.
As for allowing pattern characters to match zero characters, that is already
filed as an enhancement request as bug #29448 so we don't need another one.
