[comp.windows.x] Trouble making individual clients in the mit tree

pjs@aristotle.JPL.NASA.gov (Peter Scott) (08/13/90)

When I go to work on just one of the clients in the X11 mit tree,
typing make in the client's directory produces the error

    make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `../.././X11/Xlib.h'

An xmkmf command usually makes the makefile usable from that directory.
Is this behavior intentional?  Could it be changed so that the makefile
didn't have to be reconstructed to make from the client directory?

Go into the $(TOP) directory first and say "make includes" this creates
a directory $(TOP)/X11 with links to all the appropriate X and intrinsic
directories, together with subdirectories for several toolkits.
