xmkmf - create a Makefile from an Imakefile
SYNOPSIS
xmkmf [ -a ] [ topdir [ curdir ] ]
DESCRIPTION
The xmkmf command is the normal way to create a Makefile from an Imakefile shipped with third-party software.
When invoked with no arguments in a directory containing an Imakefile, the imake program is run with arguments appropriate for your system
(configured into imake when it was built) and generates a Makefile.
When invoked with the -a option, xmkmf builds the Makefile in the current directory, and then automatically executes ``make Makefiles'' (in
case there are subdirectories), ``make includes'', and ``make depend'' for you.
If a topdir is given, xmkmf assumes nothing is installed on your system and looks for files in the build tree instead of using the
installed versions. Optionally, curdir may be specified as a relative pathname from the top of the build tree to the current directory.
It is necessary to supply curdir if the current directory has subdirectories, or the Makefile will not be able to build the subdirectories.

xmkmf - create a Makefile from an Imakefile
SYNOPSIS
xmkmf [ -a ] [ topdir [ curdir ] ]
DESCRIPTION
The xmkmf command is the normal way to create a Makefile from an Imakefile shipped with third-party software.
When invoked with no arguments in a directory containing an Imakefile, the imake program is run with arguments appropriate for your system
(configured into xmkmf when X was built) and generates a Makefile.
When invoked with the -a option, xmkmf builds the Makefile in the current directory, and then automatically executes ``make Makefiles'' (in
case there are subdirectories), ``make includes'', and ``make depend'' for you. This is the normal way to configure software that is out-
side the X Consortium build tree.
If working inside the X Consortium build tree (unlikely unless you are an X developer, and even then this option is never really used), the
topdir argument should be specified as the relative pathname from the current directory to the top of the build tree. Optionally, curdir
may be specified as a relative pathname from the top of the build tree to the current directory. It is necessary to supply curdir if the
current directory has subdirectories, or the Makefile will not be able to build the subdirectories. If a topdir is given, xmkmf assumes
nothing is installed on your system and looks for files in the build tree instead of using the installed versions.

Hi
I'm well worsed in Shell Scripting on UNIX OS. But I found the script used in Make file for compiling the unix sources is quite criptic.

Could someone show me how to copy the contents of a file to the clipboard automatically without manually selecting its contents? I just want to press the "Paste Key" to show the results. I wish to use this in a ksh script.
