I want to write a makefile that can be run with any task and just echo all the task names.
Is there any way to do this?
Like:
%.%:
echo "$@"

What do you mean by "all the task names"? – 200_success Dec 19 '15 at 10:45

@200_success: Q title specifies `target / task`. Good luck to all. – shellter Dec 19 '15 at 11:03

But in the general case, not all targets can be known. – 200_success Dec 19 '15 at 11:06

Assuming that your make is GNU make or alike, use the following Makefile:
.PHONY: all
%:
@echo "Here I am! $@"
See the result:
> make first
Here I am! first
> make second
Here I am! second
> make first second
Here I am! first
Here I am! second
