.SH NAME
create_makefile \- creates Makefile.in and Makefile from a Makefile.am
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B create_makefile
.I relativepath/Makefile
.br
.B create_makefile
.I relativepath
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBcreate_makefile\fP creates the \fIMakefile.in\fP and \fIMakefile\fP
in a subdirectory containing a \fIMakefile.am\fP.
This script saves time compared to re-running configure completely.
.PP
Note that you must supply the path to the desired \fIMakefile\fP, not the
existing \fIMakefile.am\fP (though the final \fI/Makefile\fP may be omitted).
.PP
This script may be run from the toplevel directory (the
one containing \fIconfigure\fP) or from one of its subdirectories.
Note that \fIrelativepath\fP must be a relative path, not an absolute path.
.PP
If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the
environment variables below), it will be assumed that the \fIMakefile.am\fP
and \fIMakefile.in\fP belong beneath the source directory and that the
\fIMakefile\fP belongs beneath the build directory.
.PP
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
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.
.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#tdesdk#tdesdk-obj#\fP.
