This seemed to work fine for me with a freshly checked out version of
xscope:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/keithpcvs/xscope$ xmkmf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/keithpcvs/xscope$ make
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/keithpcvs/xscope$ ./xscope <options>
xmkmf ("X Make Makefile") is the general way of generating a Makefile in X.
X and related projects use a horrible build system with Imakefiles which
are filtered through the C preprocessor by xmkmf in order to generate the
real Makefile. Some of the stuff you see in the Imakefile, for example
ComplexProgramTarget(xscope), is actually a C preprocessor macro that gets
expanded into God knows how much in the real Makefile.

If you google a bit, you can also find the original article on Imakefiles
and why they were a good idea at the time (they really were!).
