Hello,

I'm having difficulties building an application (tightVNC).  It is because
when I type xmkmf, it creates a bunch of Makefiles with CC and MAKE
pointing to nonGnu executables.  What what I've been able to ferrit out,
those paths are hardwired into the xmkmf executale when it is built.
Not being a superuser, I can't go to the locations pointed to by CC and
MAKE and create soft links to the gnu counterparts.   Manually changing
the Makefile's don't seem to work because they always get changed back.

Is there a way to get xmkmf to create Makefile's with CC and MAKE
pointing at the gnu versions?

Thanks.

Fred
