John,
With neither --unix nor $MAKE_MODE set "*.bin" is treated as a filename
rather than a wildcard specification
Sergio then suggested the `ls *.bin` idea -- this didn't work until I
invoked make with the --unix option
I have subsequently confirmed that just "*.bin" works fine when --unix is
used. I haven't checked $MAKE_MODE but have little doubt that it will work
also
Have checked the environment I used with 0.5.0 and which accepted "*.bin".
This didn't include either --unix or $MAKE_MODE or anything similar.
Possibly the default mode for the 0.5.0 make was Unix?
Hope this helps.
Nick
