It's been X11's chosen method of getting portability, much as autoconf is GNU's method. Personally, I like imake better, but I think I'm in the minority somewhat on this. The two methods are wildy different and not compatible, really. If you don't have a full XF86 setup, you might not have all the stuff in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config, which imake REALLY needs, and is specific to your setup. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
