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.
