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#.
