imake

A tool which generates Makefiles from a template, a set of

cpp macros, and a per-directory input file called an

Imakefile. This allows machine dependencies (such has

compiler options, alternate command names, and special make

rules) to be kept separate from the descriptions of the

various items to be built.

imake is distributed with, and used extensively by, the XWindow System.
