It is no longer the preferred X.Org build system, but it remains packaged so older X11-era software can still be built. ### Projektgeschichte The X Window System used imake extensively through X11R6.9 for both builds inside the X source tree and external software. X.Org's release notes describe the X11R7.x shift to modular source releases, and the imake README states that X moved to GNU autoconf and automake for X11R7.0 and later releases in 2005. As a standalone X.Org utility package, imake includes helper programs such as `ccmakedep`, `mergelib`, `revpath`, `mkdirhier`, `makeg`, `cleanlinks`, `mkhtmlindex`, and `xmkmf`. Its README also notes that most real usage needs the X.Org `util/cf` files, which provide platform-specific configuration data. ### Adoptionsgeschichte imake's adoption story is almost inverted: it was once central to building X and X applications, then became legacy infrastructure after X.Org modularization and the move to Autotools. Package managers continue to carry it because old external X11 software and vendor source packages can still depend on Imakefiles and `xmkmf`. X.Org maintainers explicitly advise projects still using imake to migrate to build systems that add support for new platforms and runtimes. The 2025 imake 1.0.11 announcement still added RISC-V and LoongArch Linux support, illustrating the maintenance pressure created by old build recipes on newer architectures. ### Wie es verwendet wird imake preprocesses Imakefiles into makefiles using X.Org configuration templates, with `xmkmf` commonly used by external packages to generate build files. The support tools cover dependency generation, directory creation, library merging, path calculation, and HTML index generation. The practical package-manager use is compatibility: install imake and the X.Org configuration files when a legacy X11 source package asks for Imakefile processing rather than `configure`, Meson, or CMake. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren imake is package-nerd archaeology with real build consequences. It explains why some ports collections and formulas still preserve X11 support utilities long after the main upstream ecosystem moved through Autotools and toward Meson. ### Zeitleiste - 1988: X11 version 11 was first released, forming the protocol era in which imake became important. - 2005: X11R7.0 moved X.Org builds to GNU autoconf and automake. - 2012: X11R7.7 was described as the eighth modular X Window System release. - 2025: imake 1.0.11 added Linux RISC-V and LoongArch support plus Meson build support. - 2026: Homebrew packages imake 1.0.11 for legacy X11 build compatibility. ### Related projects - imake is closely tied to X.Org `util/cf`, `xmkmf`, Autotools-era X.Org modular builds, and newer Meson migration work. Its historical peers are the broader X11 utility and build-support packages distributed from X.Org's individual module archives. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** imake - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - imake: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/im/imake/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - imake - 1.0.11-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: imake from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | X Windows make utility | https://www.x.org - apk - imake-doc - 1.0.11-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: imake-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | X Windows make utility (documentation) | https://www.x.org - dnf - imake - 1.0.10-6.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: imake from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | imake source code configuration and build system | http://www.x.org - pacman - imake - 1.0.11-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: imake from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | X.Org imake program and related utilities | https://xorg.freedesktop.org/ - zypper - imake - 1.0.11-1.3: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: imake from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | C preprocessor interface to the make utility | https://xorg.freedesktop.org/ - MacPorts - imake: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: x11/imake/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [tradcpp](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/tradcpp/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [meson](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/meson/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ninja](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/ninja/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [bmake](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/bmake/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-system, build-tools, cli, developer-tools, make. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-system, build-tools, cli, developer-tools, make. - [colormake](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/colormake/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-tools, cli, developer-tools, make. - [compiledb](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/compiledb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-tools, cli, developer-tools, make. - [fpm](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/fpm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-system, build-tools, cli, developer-tools. - [melange](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/melange/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-system, build-tools, cli, developer-tools. - [nx](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/nx/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-system, build-tools, cli, developer-tools. - [ocamlbuild](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/ocamlbuild/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build-system, build-tools, cli, developer-tools. - [lndir](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/lndir/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
