Hi,
    I have several source files in a directory (which are different
versions of the same program), and I want gnu make to compile each of
them and name the resulting binaries according to the source name.

for example, if i write:

====Begin Makefile====
somefile: somefile.*.o
	cc $? -o $@
====end of Makefile====

it will compile all my files but will of course only produce one
binary(somefile). I want it to produce a binary named somefile.* for
every somefile.*.c source file i have.

-Ido.

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Yup.  You need to have the executables already present for that recipe
to work :-/

Replace the recipe with

  all: $(basename $(wildcard somefile.*.c))

This collects all somefile.*.c files, strips off the suffix and tries
to build the resulting targets (for .c, the corresponding rule is
built-in).
