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 imake when it 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.

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. 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.
