Yeah, I tried in my ignorance to move the path variable before the wildcard statement.
I know now this the way to do this is via a addsuffix...

Thanks Pauls this was a really usefull tip! Now I could see what went wrong!
the correct line should be:

define ADD_rules
  $(addsuffix /ddb/generic.db,$(1)) : $(wildcard $(addsuffix /cmd/*specific.tcl,$(1)) )
endef

But I see some strange behaviour:
I also have a rule like:
$(addsuffix /ddb/generic.db,$(1)) : $(wildcard $(addsuffix /../RTL/*.vhdl,$(1)) )
                                                           ^^^
With the warning in stead of eval as suggested, this shows me the correct listing of vhdl files.
But when I put eval in I get the message:

   run[8]: 18298 Memory fault(coredump)

When I put the RTL dir one level lower and change the rule to:
$(addsuffix /ddb/generic.db,$(1)) : $(wildcard $(addsuffix /RTL/*.vhdl,$(1)) )

It does work fine!
Any suggestion what might be wrong? Could this be a bug of eval?

Thanks,

Hans Peter.
