Hi Barry,
to test the function of xclip, select some text in a window. Then, in an
xterm, do a "xclip -o". This will print out the selected text.
To test the other direction, do "xclip -i". This reads text from STDIN.
Type some text, followed by ^D. Then click with the middle mouse button.
This will insert the text.
Also, see man(1) xclip.
Anyhow, i don't really understand why you had to remove xmkmf and hack
the Makefile.
I am not familiar with building debs, but is it not possible to have the
Makefile install into a fake root and then move the installed files to
the desired locations?
