Question function "call" and "%"

[RusMor]

(Make version etc. below)


  Dear reader,

  I think I have an interesting problem, demonstrated below in a minimal
setup:

blaat:
blaat.blaat:

TEST = $(1).$(1)

test/%: $(call TEST,%)
        @echo "Args = $^"

print/%: %
        @echo $(call TEST,$<)


  Ultimately my question is why I get the output below if enter the
following on the command line:

address@hidden:~/scratch> make print/blaat
blaat.blaat
address@hidden:~/scratch> make test/blaat
make: *** No rule to make target `test/blaat'.  Stop.

  I do not understand why the call to the TEST function (in the test/% rule)
with parameter "%" does not do the same as the call (in the print/% rule) to
the same function with parameter "$<", which is derived from "%" ??

  My follow-up question would be how to achieve the same output for both
rules?

  Many thanks for your reaction!!


Ytsen.
