There are only two file that you may want to change before building Andrew. Those files are andrew/config/site.{h,mcr}. Site.h is used to create the andrewos.h header file. Site.mcr specifies information (make macros) that will be contained in the Makefiles. In site.h you would use ccp directives to specify different types of information that affect, for example, what pieces of the distribution will get built as well as other meta information. In site.mcr you can define macros that will be included in the Makefiles. For example, there is a known make macro called CDEBUGFLAGS. You could have a line that read: CDEBUGFLAGS = -g I would suggest that you re-read the toplevel README file. There are sections describing exactly what you can do in the site files (search for "site.h" and "site.mcr"). It may be helpful if you would send your site files along so we can see what you're trying to do that is failing. If you want to see the site files we use to build on our RS/6000, they are located in AFS as /afs/andrew/itc/rs_aix31/obj/projects/andrew/config/site.{h,mcr}. Are you using the proper version of imake? You should use the version that is located in /usr/lpp/X11/Xamples/util/imake. Built that version of imake and install it into /usr/local/bin.
