[comp.windows.x] followup to contrib clients problems

cameron@flinders.cs.flinders.oz (Cameron Humphries) (02/02/90)

I have managed to compile the contrib clients that were causing difficulties
previously.

I had been generating a Makefile by using the following command:
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/local/lib/X11/config -s Makefile
The Makefile generated by this command was then bombing out.

However when called xmkmf with the top-of-sources-path given it generated an
imake command as follows:
imake -I/Xcore/config -DTOPDIR=/Xcore -s Makefile
This Makefile allows compilation to proceed to completion.

It was my understanding that the first imake allowed you to use the libraries,
includes, etc that had been installed previously so it was not necessary to
keep the sources on line.
Was this an incorrect assumption?
