NAME

       create_makefiles - Recreates all Makefiles beneath a directory

SYNOPSIS

       create_makefiles [dir]

DESCRIPTION

       create_makefiles  recreates  all  Makefiles  in  dir and its (recursed)
       subdirectories from the corresponding Makefile.am templates.

       This script must be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing
       configure).  This  script  saves  time compared to re-running configure
       completely.

       If the source directory is different from the build directory (see  the
       environment  variables below), it will be assumed that each Makefile.am
       and Makefile.in belongs beneath the  source  directory  and  that  each
       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  kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to
              s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
