[Cook] wildcard question

[Ryan Thompson]

Thanks for the tip. I have been using the tutorial and user's guide quite a
bit.

When I try the recipe/ingredients below I get this error message:
cook: Howto.cook: 63: illegal use of '%0' in "%0%.cpp" pattern

Is there another way?

In the meantime I have gotten everything working putting objects in the
directories with the source, but I'm still curious if there is a way to do
this.
