+.SH NAME
+makeobj \- run make from the correct directory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B makeobj
+[ \fImake-argument\fP ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBmakeobj\fP is a wrapper around \fBmake\fP which basically checks
+whether it's in the source directory or the build directory and changes
+to the correct directory before calling make.
+.PP
+The command-line arguments will (generally) be passed directly to make.
+.PP
+This script is useful if the source directory is different from the
+build directory and the Makefiles are kept in the build directory, as is
+common for instance when building the TDE sources. This script can however
+be used in more standard scenarios (such as non-TDE projects for which the
+source and build directories are the same), where it will behave just like
+make.
+.PP
+One of the environment variables OBJ_SUBDIR or OBJ_REPLACEMENT
+should be set to indicate where the build directory is in relation to
+the source directory.
+.PP
+This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+Note that only one of OBJ_SUBDIR and OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be used.
+If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory,
+the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
+.TP
+OBJ_SUBDIR
+Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the
+source directory. For instance, if the source directory is \fItdesdk\fP
+and the build directory is \fItdesdk/obj-i386-linux\fP, then OBJ_SUBDIR
+should be set to \fIobj-i386-linux\fP.
+.TP
+OBJ_REPLACEMENT
+A \fBsed\fP expression that is used to transform the source directory
+into the build directory.
+For instance, if the source directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk\fP and the
+build directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk-obj\fP, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT could
+be set to \fIs#src/tdesdk#src/tdesdk-obj#\fP.
