 <title>Description</title>
 
 <para><command>create_makefile</command> creates the
 <filename>Makefile.in</filename> and <filename>Makefile</filename> in
 a subdirectory containing a <filename>Makefile.am</filename>.  This
 script saves time compared to re-running configure completely</para>
 
 <para>Note that you must supply the path to the desired
 <filename>Makefile</filename> <filename>Makefile.am</filename> (though
 the final <filename>/Makefile</filename> may be omitted).</para>
 
 <para>This script may be run from the toplevel directory (the one
 containing <filename>configure</filename>) or from one of it's
 subdirectories.</para>
 
 <para>If the source directory is different from the build directory
 (see the environment variables below), it will be assumed that the
 <filename>Makefile.am</filename> and <filename>Makefile.in</filename>
 belong beneath the source directory and that the
 <filename>Makefile</filename> belongs beneath the build
 directory. </para>

 <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">~/src/kdesdk</filename> and the build directory is <filename class="directory">~/src/kdesdk-obj</filename>, then <envar>OBJ_REPLACEMENT</envar> should be set to <parameter>s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#</parameter>.</para></listitem>
