## 9. Building New X Clients

The easiest way to build a new client (X application) is to use `xmkmf` if an `Imakefile` is included in the sources. Type ```xmkmf -a`'' to create the Makefiles, check the configuration if necessary and type ```make`''. Whenever you install additional man pages you should update `whatis.db` by running ```makewhatis /usr/X11R6/man`''.

To avoid the ``Virtual memory exhausted'' message from cc while compiling, increase the data and stack size limits (in csh type ```limit datasize 32M`'' and ```limit stacksize 16M`'').
