Stop. If you're new to the make world, then you shouldn't be studying up on make functions like $(foreach), as *most* makefiles have no need of them. You should *first* be writing out a simple, declarative makefile that uses no functions. If you don't have a sense how a makefile should operate and be written to get it's job done, then learning how to write them more concisely is *bad*, because it just distracts you from getting the job done. Every language, including make, has a progression from simple to complex. Until you are comfortable with the simple, the complex is a distraction that should be ignored. A beginning C++ programmer shouldn't try to understand templates immediately, nor should a beginning make programmer start with make functions. So, back up. WHAT PROBLEM ARE YOU TRYING TO SOLVE?
