For what it's worth, $(MACRO:.suffix1=.suffix2) is portable to both Posix make and Automake, as long as both suffixes do not contain dots. If they do contain dots, then it's still portable to most make implementations in practice (and to Automake). The process can be repeated by using assignments to intermediate helper macros. Isn't that what you were looking for here? Cheers, Ralf
