.SH "NAME"
create_makefile \- Creates Makefile\&.in and Makefile from a Makefile\&.am

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBcreate_makefile\fR
creates the
Makefile\&.in
and
Makefile
in a subdirectory containing a
Makefile\&.am\&. This script saves time compared to re\-running configure completely
.PP
Note that you must supply the path to the desired
Makefile
Makefile\&.am
(though the final
/Makefile
may be omitted)\&.
.PP
This script may be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing
configure) or from one of it\*(Aqs subdirectories\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
This utility is part of the
KDE
Software Development Kit\&.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.PP
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
\fBOBJ_SUBDIR\fR
should be used\&.
.PP
\fBOBJ_SUBJDIR\fR
.RS 4
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
\fBOBJ_SUBDIR\fR
should be set to
\fIobj\-i386\-linux\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBOBJ_REPLACEMENT\fR
.RS 4
A
\fBsed\fR
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
\fBOBJ_REPLACEMENT\fR
should be set to
\fIs#kdesdk#kdesdk\-obj#\fR\&.
