Subject: to imake or not to imake
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 1992 14:26:59 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9202142026.AA05683@dahlie.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de> (raw)

I don't want to start any religious wars, but imake -once set up correctly-
usually shortens installation procedures to "imkmf; make install", especially
if the sources are as portable as rc is.
Before stating that imake doesn't work, one should have a look at imake
coming from Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center ( the original )
or the X11R5 thing.
For those who are not running imake, a Makefile can be included in the
distribution, ready to be hacked manually.

Of course, it is not worth installing imake just to configure rc.

Malte.
