To do this in the most complete fashion first have the full X.V11 R4 source
tree available. Then: First ensure that all 14 mit patches have been
applied to the X11R4 tree, and the motif Xt patch has been applied.

Use the script mit/util/scripts/lndir.sh to build a shadow tree.
(We will build the libs and execuatable here).

modify the Imakefile in the MIT directory to add 2 directories to build
demosmotif and tools (demosmotif will be a set of links to the
motif demos).  Using lndir.sh (after creating these two directories)
link demosmotif to the demos directory in the motif area: Link tools to
the tools area in the motif source. Next rename the config area in the
shadow tree config.mit, and create and link a directory call config with
config in the motif area. 

Now go into the lib directory in the shadow tree: rename the Imakefile link
to Imakefile.mit, edit a copy and add the directories Xm and Mrm to the
directories list. As above create these directories and link them with
lndir.sh to the lib/Xm and lib/Mrm directories in the motif source area.

Now go to mit/clients, edit the Imakefile to add clients mwm and uil:
Create and link these directoires to clients/mwm and clients/uil in 
the motif source area:(using lndir.sh again).

Now we can start to build X and motif. 
If you feel brave you can just type make World and wait:

Alternativly you could do 
make Makefile:
make Makefiles,
Check that all directories you added to the tree are visited in this
process.
make include;
make depend
make
...
Actually if you get past make Makefile, you could just do a  make World
and start all over with little time lost:

After from 2 to 10 hours you will have a set of executable etc to
begin to test.
