Does GNU do an alternative?

Question

I would like to select all the files in the directory, but using FreeBSD make.

In GNU, this approach works:

FILES=$(wildcard *.c) 

I use FreeBSD make, not GNU make, so I'm looking for a command that will work in FreeBSD make.

As stated in the link below, FreeBSD has its own functions, but I cannot find them.

You can use != To execute a command on FreeBSD make . For instance:

 FILES!= ls *.c 

or if you also want to find files in subdirectories;

 FILES!= find . -type f -name '*.c'
