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.
