如果您正在使用GNU make，您可以尝试一下

NUMBERS = 1 2 3 4
doit:
        $(foreach var,$(NUMBERS),./a.out $(var);)

哪个将生成并执行

./a.out 1; ./a.out 2; ./a.out 3; ./a.out 4;

#I have a bunch of files that follow the naming convention
#soxfile1  soxfile1.o  soxfile1.sh   soxfile1.ini soxfile1.txt soxfile1.err
#soxfile2  soxfile2.o   soxfile2.sh  soxfile2.ini soxfile2.txt soxfile2.err
#sox...        ....        .....         ....         ....        ....
#in the makefile, only select the soxfile1.. soxfile2... to install dir
#My GNU makefile solution follows:
tgt=/usr/local/bin/          #need to use sudo
tgt2=/backup/myapplication/  #regular backup 

install:
        for var in $$(ls -f sox* | grep -v '\.' ) ; \
        do \
                sudo  cp -f $$var ${TGT} ;     \
                      cp -f  $$var ${TGT2} ;  \
        done


#The ls command selects all the soxfile* including the *.something
#The grep command rejects names with a dot in it, leaving  
#My desired executable files in a list. 

在循环中动态地分配变量

1 2 3 4中for数的问题;做…-solution是，在循环中没有变量可以赋值。$(eval VAR=…)只能在目标执行开始时已知赋值内容的情况下使用。如果赋值依赖于循环变量，VAR将为空。

为了避免这个问题，可以使用目标功能对循环建模。下面的例子从SRC / OBJ获取第n个文件，并将它们一起处理。使用这种结构，您甚至可以使用$(eval…)来处理循环变量，如VAR3所示。

makefile

SRC = f1.c f2.cpp f3.cpp
OBJ = f1.o f2.o f3.o

SRC2 = $(addsuffix _,$(SRC))
JOIN = $(join $(SRC2),$(OBJ))

PHONY: all
all : info loop

loop : $(JOIN)

$(JOIN) :
    @# LOOP - CONTENT
    @echo "TARGET: $@"
    $(eval VAR1=$(word 1,$(subst _, ,$@)))
    @echo "VAR1: "$(VAR1)
    $(eval VAR2=$(word 2,$(subst _, ,$@)))
    @echo "VAR2: "$(VAR2)
    $(eval VAR3=$(subst .o,.x,$(VAR2)))
    @echo "You can even substitute you loop variable VAR3: "$(VAR3)
    #g++ -o $(VAR2) $(VAR1)
    @echo

PHONY: info
info:
    @printf "\n"
    @echo "JOIN: "$(JOIN)
    @printf "\n"

输出

$ make

JOIN: f1.c_f1.o f2.cpp_f2.o f3.cpp_f3.o

TARGET: f1.c_f1.o
VAR1: f1.c
VAR2: f1.o
You can even substitute you loop variable VAR3: f1.x
#g++ -o f1.o f1.c

TARGET: f2.cpp_f2.o
VAR1: f2.cpp
VAR2: f2.o
You can even substitute you loop variable VAR3: f2.x
#g++ -o f2.o f2.cpp

TARGET: f3.cpp_f3.o
VAR1: f3.cpp
VAR2: f3.o
You can even substitute you loop variable VAR3: f3.x
#g++ -o f3.o f3.cpp

尽管GNUmake表工具包有一个真正的while循环(不管这在GNUmake编程中意味着什么，它有两个或三个执行阶段)，如果需要的是一个迭代列表，有一个简单的解决方案，即interval。为了好玩，我们把数字也转换成十六进制:

include gmtt/gmtt.mk

# generate a list of 20 numbers, starting at 3 with an increment of 5
NUMBER_LIST := $(call interval,3,20,5)

# convert the numbers in hexadecimal (0x0 as first operand forces arithmetic result to hex) and strip '0x'
NUMBER_LIST_IN_HEX := $(foreach n,$(NUMBER_LIST),$(call lstrip,$(call add,0x0,$(n)),0x))

# finally create the filenames with a simple patsubst
FILE_LIST := $(patsubst %,./a%.out,$(NUMBER_LIST_IN_HEX))

$(info $(FILE_LIST))

输出:

./a3.out ./a8.out ./ad.out ./a12.out ./a17.out ./a1c.out ./a21.out ./a26.out ./a2b.out ./a30.out ./a35.out ./a3a.out ./a3f.out ./a44.out ./a49.out ./a4e.out ./a53.out ./a58.out ./a5d.out ./a62.out

一个简单的、独立于shell/平台的纯宏解决方案是…

# GNU make (`gmake`) compatible; ref: <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual>
define EOL

$()
endef
%sequence = $(if $(word ${1},${2}),$(wordlist 1,${1},${2}),$(call %sequence,${1},${2} $(words _ ${2})))

.PHONY: target
target:
    $(foreach i,$(call %sequence,10),./a.out ${i}${EOL})

如果您正在使用GNU make，您可以尝试一下

NUMBERS = 1 2 3 4
doit:
        $(foreach var,$(NUMBERS),./a.out $(var);)

哪个将生成并执行

./a.out 1; ./a.out 2; ./a.out 3; ./a.out 4;
