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