title: Nmake getting a list of all .o files from .cpp files
body: <p>I'm using nmake to compile multiple source files into an elf. However I do not want to specify the .o files in a long list like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>OBJS = file1.o file2.o file3.o
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I would prefer is to use a wildcard that specifies all .o files in the current directory as dependencies for the .elf. However, the .o files don't exist until I've compiled them from the .cpp files. Is there any way to get a list of cpp files using wildcard expansion and then do a string replacement to replace the .cpp with .o.</p>
