Makefiles are templete on how to actually compile and link code and to install in the designated locations. After running imake, you are now being told to<BR />execute "make Makefiles" then "make clean" then "make install" ... . The argument supplied to make serves as the target. If you examine the Makefile (or makefile) you should see a line like <BR />install: xxx yyy xxx<BR />command1 aa bb cc<BR />command2 xx yy zz<BR />....<BR /><BR />This essentially say when you execute make as "make install", look for the "install:" entry and follow those steps. A man make would explain much of this but make is fundamental to building complex applications.<BR /> Fri, 10 Mar 2006 14:22:34 GMT A.
