From the Publisher

This handbook is ideal for X and UNIX programmers who want their software to be portable. The second edition covers version X11R6.1 of the X Window System, using imake for non-UNIX systems such as Windows NT, and some of the quirks about using imake under OpenWindows/Solaris.

From the Back Cover

imake, a UNIX utility that works with make, enables you to port software, usually (but not exclusively) X Window System code, to multiple UNIX platforms. imake also runs under Windows NT. imake stores the differences between the operating systems in configuration files. It then generates a different Makefile for each system for use with make, the UNIX software development utility. Software Portability with imake, Second Edition, tells you everything you need to know about imake and its associated utilities, such as makedepend and mkdirhier. It is the only book published on the subject. The second edition has been updated to cover the current version of the X Window System (X11R6.1). It gets you started using imake for non-UNIX systems such as Microsoft Windows, NT, and covers some of the quirks inherent in using imake under OpenWindows/Solaris.
