- You don't need the X source tree in order to use Imake. When you install
- the X Window System with "make install", the Imake binaries and
- configuration files get installed, too. Look into /usr/bin/X11 resp. into
- the location where the X11 binaries are installed at your site! You should
- find imake, xmkmf, makedepend, and mkdirhier there. Imake's configuration
- files go into /usr/lib/X11/config. All you need to do in order to compile a
- program coming with a (proper) Imakefile is "xmkmf -a" and "make". (The -a
- option of xmkmf automatically invokes the steps "make Makefiles" (generate
- Makefiles in subdirectories), "make includes" (generate header files that
- are not already there), and "make depend" (insert make dependencies into
- the Makefile).)
-
- If you are in the sad situation of having an X11 installation without a
- proper Imake, and you don't want or can't compile X11R5 yourself just to
- get Imake, you should consider to get the file
- /pub/X11/misc/imake/imake-pure.tar.Z (115 KBytes only) from
- ftp.germany.eu.net. As the name indicates, this file comprises Imake and
- nothing else. I ripped it out of the X11R5 source tree and tweaked the
- configuration files a little bit, so that Imake can be compiled and
- installed on its own.
