The correct command, if you have the x directories, etc. installed, is xmkmf, which runs imake with a knowledge of your installed image paths. This should result in a working makefile. It is possible that the program is missing or unimplemented in the xxgdb distribution itself. If so, BSD won't have it either. 8-). If it is at the xxgdb repository site, but not in the FreeBSD package, then it's a proken package, and you need to report it to Satoshi on the ports@freebsd.org list (I think that's the one -- it's confusingly named). > The xxgdb that gets produced by running a make against the built makefile > will not run at all.

Potentially, It's an X11R5 application and the use of X11R6 headers and libraries has puked it out. > Anything else I can try? Look for an xxgdbiowin target in the imakefile, If it isn't there, you are starting with the wrong source base. If it is there, unless there is an API discrepancy between X11R5 and X11R6 that is affecting you, the command 'xmkmf -a' should result in a buildable tree (the '-a' option causes it to recursively descend, building makefiles from imakefiles).
