CentOS4 ships with a functional version of imake and xmkmf.
SL4 ships with imake but no xmkmf, and the imake there doesn't
seem to work, at least not without a lot of messing around.
I'm trying to build a bunch of legacy apps, and they require
imake. I don't know autoconf, and don't have time to try to
suss out how to convcert everything right now.
First, is there an RPM with imake and xmkmf that works for SL4?
Secondly, why does the xorg with CentOS ship with this while SL
doesn't? Did someone at CentOS just fix this? Or is it because
4.4 had it (the CentOS version I have available) but 4.6 doesn't
(the SL version I have available)?
Hmm...
