Thank you for your help, dynamically generating makefile rules is working
great!
I’m using following template:

define CREATEVIEW
%$n.view : ./src/dds/%$n.lf %.file
        @printf "Compiling %-44s to %-15s " $$< "$$*.view:"
        […]
endef

and generate my rules like this:

$(foreach n,0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9,$(eval ${CREATEVIEW}))

So it is automatically creating my views and my tables if they do not exist!
Best regards,
