[comp.windows.x] Help with imake

rps@arbortext.COM (05/18/91)

Hi.  I've been struggling to get Imake to work for me.  It seems that the
only way I can get imake to go is if I keep the whole mit source tree
around.  I'd like to have that disk space for other things.
The man page for imake is not very helpful.  General help would be greatly
appreciated.

			Thanks, Ralph

Sorry, but I have already tried that.  No go.  The only way I can get things
to make correctly is if I imake using the source tree:

xmkmf /usr/X11R4/mit  (/usr/X11R4/mit is my X11R4 source tree obviously)

When you did "make install" at the top of your X source tree did it
create a directory /usr/lib/X11/config containing all the .tmpl,
.rules, and .cf files for imake?

Yep.  /usr/lib/X11/config contains all the necessary files as far as I can
tell.  I set up site.def and sun4.cf all correctly also (they actually didn't
need much in the way of changes :)

Dunno.  I never had the source.  We have a 'Product Tape' that we can check
out of our software library for installation on systems in-house.

Ralph, do this:

setenv IMAKEINCLUDE /usr/X11R4/mit/config
