Right, but with the following filter command I throw away everything 
useless.

Already done. I get the right list, something like:

./obj/foo.o ./obj/bar.o

It seems not to make any difference. Anyway the error message seems to 
complain to unable to find a rule for '/obj/foo.o'. I suspect that it 
can't match the target of the following rule:

$(ObjectDir)/%.o: $(SourceDir)%.c
        $(CCompiler) $(CFLAGS) -c $^ -o $@

Note that an explicit rule such as:

$(ObjectDir)/foo.o: $(SourceDir)/foo.c
         $(CCompiler) $(CFLAGS) -c $^ -o $@
works. But I'd happy to avoid to write an explicit rule for each source 
file!!!!

Any other hint???

Thanks,
Andrea.
