NAME
     xmkmf - create a Makefile from an Imakefile

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/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 appropri-
     ate 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.
