This is a known bug in 3.77. 3.79 is the current version, you really need to
update.

Subject: does gnumake 3.77 wildcard work under solaris 2.6?
We're trying to use the wildcard function in gnumake, and
find that it produces nothing. The goal is to produce
a list of the .o files that should be checked against all the
.f files in a directory, as directly from page 18 of the 3.77
manual (and as of some earlier versions of gnumake that worked).
"Making" with the attached Makefile in a directory with more
than a dozen .f files produces the following output:
% gnumake
echo
echo
echo
echo
The old syntax (from an earlier gnumake) we think omitted the
colon in the := assignment. We tried that too with the same results.
Here's the Makefile. Any thoughts for us?
Thanks,
John Lewis
cut here -
OBJECTS := $(patsubst %.f, %.o, $(wildcard *.f))
TESTOBJ := $(patsubst %.f,%.o,$(wildcard *.f))
test:
echo $($(wildcard *.f))
echo $(wildcard *.f)
echo $(TESTOBJ)
echo $(OBJECTS)
