[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Compiling Andrew on RS6000

Has anyone outside the ITC actually managed to DO this? The "imake" supplied with this
workstation build a "Makefile" which fails to define "INSTALL" "SED" and other nifty
features so it looks like the default information from the X11 tree is, somehow, not
included. Not that there is anything really there to begin with...

Basically, I can't build a working top-level Makefile so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I just took down a version of ATK (up to patch level 7, I know it hasn't
been released yet) and only had a small problem installing the system. 
In particular I needed to make sure that PRE_X11R4_ENV was defined and
that LINKINSTALL_ENV was not defined.  I used the imake and makedepend
that was on the machine, although I did have to build them myself (the
sources were there but I didn't find the binaries).  I did have one
problem with the executable which I still don't understand (it got very
confused with a setting of CLASSPATH and printed out all sorts of
strange error messages), but things did work.

I will be checking this out with the proper people when I get back to
the ITC on Monday.  All in all it was a reasonably pleasant experience
since it only took me about 3 hours to compile up the system (excluding
ODA).
