VERSION:
X11 release 1
SYNOPSIS:
The release notes don't adequately describe what is necessary
for configuring the release.
DESCRIPTION:
There seems to be something missing between the sections
titled "Configuring the Release" and the following section
"Building the Release". After configuring the release it
seems that one needs to do a "make makefiles" and perhaps a
"make depend". If you change the relevant .macros file in the
util/imake.includes directory this change doesn't seem to be
propogated until you do a "make makefiles".
(I simply ran off the .psc file and didn't re-troff the
release notes; perhaps the troff sources to the release notes
are more complete.)
REPEAT-BY:
I Edited the .macros file for the SUN and then did a "make >&
errs" in the top level directory and noticed that make was
still using the -g flag and making a debugged version of Xlib.
FIX:
Work on the Release Notes.
Yes, after you make changes in imake.includes files you will want to do
"make Makefiles" and "make depend". However, people should be warned
that this procedure may not work on all systems (particularly
SysV-related), and you should make sure you have an easy way to recover
the Makefiles we supplied just in case.mlandau@bbn.com (Matt Landau) (09/19/87)

Note that doing "make Makefiles" at the top-level does NOT seem to actually rebuild the top-level Makefile itself - you need to do *both* "make Makefile" and "make Makefiles" before doing the "make depend".
