make utility pattern substitution

[Rao Pramodh <pramodh rao derendinger ch>]

Hello Everybody,

I know this is not the right forum for this question, but I need to use
something like this is my Makefile

define PLLFILES
*.pll
endef

PLXFILES=$(PLLFILES:%.pll=%.plx)

However, this is not happening.

Could somebody point me in the right direction please. This is very urgent
as I need to have the prototype ready by tomorrow morning and I am not able
to use the make utillity at all.

TIA!

Cheers
Pramodh
