Better yet, use xmkmf.  It's easier to remember and saves typing.

$ xmkmf
mv Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11/lib/X11/config

There should be no need to define TOPDIR with UseInstalled defined.  I'm
not sure if xmkmf comes with the SGI X binaries, the X development package
or whatever, but it's free from MIT.  Note that xmkmf knows where to find
your config files.
