Thanks,
Let me explain my original problem -and may be you'll find a better
solution for me :-)
I want to launch a number of make processes in different directories.
unfortunatlly each one needs a different target to be made.
I can do it like this:
$(MAKE) -C $(dir1) $(target1)
$(MAKE) -C $(dir2) $(target2)
$(MAKE) -C $(dir3) $(target3)
....
...
Is there a better way ?

you could use the foreach function but you would have to pack the "1 to
MAX_NUM"
into a variable that you have to generate with a shell call as there is no
for loop available in the way you are suggesting it.
Alternatively if you simply want to handle the rule for every numeric
subdir
in a specific directory then you can use make builtin functions.
something like
---Makefile.dirlist---
all: dirlist
top_dir := .
DIRS := $(foreach dir,$(top_dir),$(wildcard $(dir)/[0-9]*))
dirlist:
@echo $(DIRS)
should be able to fill in the DIRS variable with all existing numeric
directory names in $(top_dir). The targets can then be generated the
same way.
