Bug Description
When using an expression like {revno:foobar} in the receipe some makefiles will fail with
*** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
because the ":" in the resulting path name will apparently confuse make in some situations.
An example for such a failed build is here:
https:/
the offending line in the makefile is
fpc_loaders: $(COMPILER_
(I have not yet tried to debug how exactly these two macros would expand (also I am not the author of these make files) but I guess this would imply be some path names with : characters at the wrong places and make interpreting it totally wrong)
Actually I really wondered whether there was someting wrong with my recipe when I first saw that it is using the recipe placeholders in the path names instead of actually replacing them with their true contents before running the build.
Please use some less exotic naming scheme with more "conventional" characters for the path names.
