NAME

xmkmf − simple interface to the imake utility for generating X11 Makefiles

SYNOPSIS

xmkmf [ topdir [ curdir ] ]

DESCRIPTION

The xmkmf command runs the imake command with the appropriate options to generate an X11 Makefile from an Imakefile in the current directory.  The X Window System uses imake extensively for both full builds of the source tree and for external software.  Two variables, TOPDIR and CURDIR, can be set to make referencing files using relative path names easier.  For example, the following imake command can be used to build the Makefile in the directory lib/X (relative to the top of the sources):

%  ../.././config/imake  -I../.././config \
-DTOPDIR=../../.  -DCURDIR=./lib/X

The above imake command can be similarly accomplished with the following xmkmf command:

%  xmkmf  ../../.  ./lib/X

OPTIONS

topdir Relative path to top of sources

curdir Current directory relative to top of sources

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Same as imake.
