How to add all files from a folder in src_uri in a bitbake file

Question

I am having a folder in which there are too many c files (Approx 200 c files)

Right now in the bitbake file of that folder I am adding files in SRC_URI variable like this:

SRC_URI = "file://filename_1.c \
           file://filename_2.c \
                   .
                   .
                   .
           file://filename_n.c \

It is very difficult to add files like this in a SRC_URI variable of a bitbake since I am having too many c files. What can be the shortest way to include all the c files in a bitabake file. Or Is there any way to add the directory of the c files and it will include all the c files present in that directory.

Please help

You can use wildcards.

SRC_URI = "file://*.c"

Make a tar with all .c files, then mention the tar file name in SRC_URI.

SRC_URI = "file://test.tar.gz"
