Follow-up Comment #4, bug #51311 (project make): > In fact there can be zero, one, or as many prerequisites containing the pattern character as you like. Essentially if the target contains a pattern character then it's a pattern rule:
Can examples in the manual cause the impression that there is any limitation? >…, the reason your example doesn't work is that a pattern character must match at least one character. Can this information appear in another section of the manual? Do I need to pair standard pattern rules with concrete make rules so that the placeholder “%” will be handled in special cases as if it would be optional?
