xmkmf \- create a Makefile from an Imakefile
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B xmkmf
|
|
[ -a ] [
|
|
.I topdir
|
|
[
|
|
.I curdir
|
|

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.I xmkmf
|
|
command is the normal way to create a
|
|
.I Makefile
|
|
from an
|
|
.I Imakefile
|
|
shipped with third-party software.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When invoked with no arguments in a directory containing an
|
|
.I Imakefile,
|
|
the
|
|
.I imake
|
|
program is run with arguments appropriate for your system
|
|
(configured into
|
|
.I xmkmf
|
|
when X was built) and generates a
|
|
.I Makefile.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When invoked with the
|
|
.I \-a
|
|
option,
|
|
.I xmkmf
|
|
builds the
|
|
.I 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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
|
|
.I topdir
|
|
argument should be specified as the relative pathname from the
|
|
current directory to the top of the build tree. Optionally,
|
|
.I curdir
|
|
may be specified as a relative pathname from the top of the build
|
|
tree to the current directory. It is necessary to supply
|
|
.I curdir
|
|
if the current directory has subdirectories, or the
|
|
.I Makefile
|
|
will not be able to build the subdirectories.
|
|
If a
|
|
.I topdir
|
|
is given,
|
|
.I xmkmf
|
|
assumes nothing is installed on your system and looks for files in
|
|
the build tree instead of using the installed versions.
