Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a list of filenames: FILES := a.b c.d e.f and I want to remove the extensions (suffixes) of all words to obtain: a c e what is the best way to do that? The best I could come up with was "cheating" with shell: $(shell for f in $(INS_NODIR); do echo -n "$${f%.*} "; done ) but I am surprised there was not a more "built-in" way of doing this only with make built-in functions. thing I tried: patsubst . It seems that it can only have one single wildcard, others being treated literally, and I'd like to do something like %.%, % looking for a notsufix function. I was surprised that this does not exist, since the dir function has notdir counterpart, but the suffix function that exactly extracts extensions does not have a notsuffix counterpart
