Commands Reference, Volume 6
Creates a Makefile from
an Imakefile.
xmkmf [ -a ]
[ TopDir [ CurDir ] ]
The xmkmf command
creates a Makefile from an Imakefile shipped with
third-party software. When invoked with no arguments or variables in a
directory containing an Imakefile file, the
imake command runs with arguments appropriate for your system
(configured into xmkmf when X was built) and generates a
Makefile.
| -a
| First builds the Makefile in the current directory, then
automatically executes make Makefiles,
make includes, and make depend. This
is how to configure software that is outside of the MIT X build tree.
|
Specify TopDir and
CurDir if you are working inside the MIT X build tree (highly
unlikely unless you are an X developer).
| TopDir
| Specify as the relative path name from the current directory to the top
of the build tree.
|
| CurDir
| Specify as a relative path name from the top of the build tree to the
current directory.
The CurDir variable is
required if the current directory has subdirectories; otherwise, the
Makefile will not be able to build the subdirectories. If a
TopDir variable is given in its place, xmkmf assumes
nothing is installed on your system and searches for files in the build tree
instead of using the installed versions.
