I'm not sure what you want exactly. I reference to grep, the tool would
be sed, but I'm not sure that's waht you actually want. Does this do
what you want?:
allheaders.h: $(HEADER)
@for f in $(patsubst include/%,%,$(HEADER)); do \
echo "#include \"$$f\""; \
done > '$@'
This could be done using sed, but doing it inside make is more
efficient, and a bit simpler. Also, you were over-complicating shell
quotation. Also, you can capture the output of the entire for loop, so
it only has to open allheaders.h for writing once.
