<title>Description</title>

<para>&create_makefiles; recreates all <filename>Makefile</filename>s
in <replaceable>dir</replaceable> and its
(recursed) subdirectories from the corresponding
<filename>Makefile.am</filename> templates.</para>

<para>This script must be run from the toplevel directory (the one
containing configure). This script saves time compared to re-running
configure completely.</para>

<para>If the source directory is different from the build directory
(see the environment variables below), it will be assumed that each
<filename>Makefile.am</filename> and <filename>Makefile.in</filename>
belongs beneath the source directory and that each
<filename>Makefile</filename> belongs beneath the build
directory.</para>

<para>This utility is part of the &kde; Software Development Kit.</para>

<refsect1>
<title>Environment</title>
<para>One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if
the source directory is different from the build directory. If the
build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the
simpler variable <envar>OBJ_SUBDIR</envar> should be used. </para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><envar>OBJ_SUBJDIR</envar></term>
<listitem><para>Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is <filename class="directory">kdesdk</filename> and the build directory is <filename class="directory">kdesdk/obj-i386-linux</filename>, then <envar>OBJ_SUBDIR</envar> should be set to <parameter>obj-i386-linux</parameter>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><envar>OBJ_REPLACEMENT</envar></term>
<listitem><para>A <command>sed</command> expression that is used to transform the source directory into the build directory.  For instance, if the source directory is <filename class="directory">kdesdk/obj-i386-linux</filename>, then <envar>OBJ_REPLACEMENT</envar> should be set to <parameter>s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#</parameter>.</para>
