28 xmkmf \- create a Makefile from an Imakefile
39 command is the normal way to create a
43 shipped with third-party software.
45 When invoked with no arguments in a directory containing an
49 program is run with arguments appropriate for your system
52 when X was built) and generates a
61 in the current directory, and then automatically executes
62 ``make Makefiles'' (in case there are subdirectories),
64 and ``make depend'' for you.
65 This is the normal way to configure software that is outside
66 the X Consortium build tree.
68 If working inside the X Consortium build tree (unlikely unless you
69 are an X developer, and even then this option is never really used), the
71 argument should be specified as the relative pathname from the
72 current directory to the top of the build tree. Optionally,
74 may be specified as a relative pathname from the top of the build
75 tree to the current directory. It is necessary to supply
77 if the current directory has subdirectories, or the
79 will not be able to build the subdirectories.
84 assumes nothing is installed on your system and looks for files in
85 the build tree instead of using the installed versions.
