Software Portability with Imake
"Imake" is a utility that works with "make" to enable code to be compiled and installed on different UNIX machines. "Imake" makes possible the wide portability of the X Window System code and is widely considered an X tool, but it's also useful for any software project that needs to be ported to many UNIX systems.This Nutshell Handbook(R)--the only book available on "imake"--is ideal for X and UNIX programmers who want their software to be portable. The book is divided into two sections. The first section is a general explanation of "imake," X configuration files, and how to write and debug an "Imakefile." The second section describes how to write configuration files and presents a configuration file architecture that allows development of coexisting sets of configuration files. Several sample sets of configuration files are described and are available free over the Net.

A great book on this not-so-often-talked-about topic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I am from a company where we use Imake regularly for our sofware builds. Yet, very few people knew about this topic and those who knew were too busy to share it. I found this book extremely useful in understanding the details of Imake. I created my own macros and rules using it and successfully deployed them. Great book!
