NAME
create_makefile - Creates Makefile.in and Makefile from a Makefile.am
SYNOPSIS
create_makefile [relativepath/Makefile] [relativepath]
DESCRIPTION
create_makefile creates the Makefile.in and Makefile in a subdirectory
containing a Makefile.am. This script saves time compared to re-running
configure completely
Note that you must supply the path to the desired Makefile Makefile.am
(though the final /Makefile may be omitted).
This script may be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing
configure) or from one of it's subdirectories.
If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the
environment variables below), it will be assumed that the Makefile.am
and Makefile.in belong beneath the source directory and that the
Makefile belongs beneath the build directory.
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
ENVIRONMENT
One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the
source directory is different from the build directory. If the build
directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler
variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
OBJ_SUBJDIR
Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory
of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory
is kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then
OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.
OBJ_REPLACEMENT
A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory
into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory
is ~/src/kdesdk and the build directory is ~/src/kdesdk-obj,
then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
