jmkmf

JMKMF(1)						      General Commands Manual							  JMKMF(1)

NAME

       jmkmf - runs jmake with the correct options

SYNOPSIS

       jmkmf [ top-level dir [ current dir ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Jmkmf is a wrapper which calls jmake with the correct options, defining the symbols TOPDIR (location of the top-level directory) and CURDIR
       (current directory). The generated Makefile.SH is then ran through /bin/sh to produce a Makefile.

       Jmkmf is useful when you generate a makefile for the first time.

       When ran without arguments, jmkmf will scan the directories upwards, looking for a .package file marking the top of your sources.  It  will
       then derive the top-level directory and the name of the current directory by itself.

       Once you have a Makefile.SH generated by jmake, and have run Configure already, you can use make Makefile.SH to build the Makefile.SH again
       and make Makefile to run the Makefile.SH through /bin/sh.  To use the recursive commands, you have to append an 's' at the end of the  name
       as in make Makefiles.SH and make Makefiles.
