NAME
xmkmf - create a Makefile from an Imakefile
SYNOPSIS
xmkmf [ -a ] [
topdir [
curdir ] ]
DESCRIPTION
The
xmkmf command is the normal way to create a
Makefile from an
Imakefile shipped with third-party software.
When invoked with no arguments in a directory containing an
Imakefile, the
imake program is run with arguments appropriate for your system
(configured into
xmkmf when X was built) and generates a
Makefile.
When invoked with the
-a option,
xmkmf builds the
Makefile in the current directory, and then automatically executes
make Makefiles (in case there are subdirectories),
make includes,
and make depend for you.
This is the normal way to configure software that is outside
the X Consortium build tree.
If working inside the X Consortium build tree (unlikely unless you
are an X developer, and even then this option is never really used), the
topdir argument should be specified as the relative pathname from the
current directory to the top of the build tree. Optionally,
curdir may be specified as a relative pathname from the top of the build
tree to the current directory. It is necessary to supply
curdir if the current directory has subdirectories, or the
Makefile will not be able to build the subdirectories.
If a
topdir is given,
xmkmf assumes nothing is installed on your system and looks for files in
the build tree instead of using the installed versions.
