Does anyone know if there exists some documentation on how to port X11R4 to other platforms? I have followed the steps in mit/config/Imake.tmpl, but that doesn't seem to work. The problem may seem to be that MacroIncludeFile is not defined when Imake.tmpl is processed, but I compile imake with a BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS, so I need more documentation...

Howdy. I'd appreciate it if you could pass on any responses you may get concerning Imake. Thanks, Ralph

There are a few documents in mit/doc/Server which are exactly what you are looking for. They have to be formatted with tbl and nroff using the ms macro package. You may event want to print all of them out to make them reference material.
