I am trying to create a makefile which will do something based upon files in
specific directories changing.

When the following is used, the dependency list is not expanded.  Is there a
way to make this work, or do I need to write explicit rules for foo.pak and
bar.pak?


PAK_DIRS = foo bar

all: $(foreach dir, $(PAK_DIRS), $(dir).pak)

$(foreach dir, $(PAK_DIRS), $(dir).pak) : %.pak : $(wildcard %/*.txt)
    echo updated>$@
