Gerald,
Hmm... the problem I'm running into with fvwm95 is that I can't do a build
from a directory other than the source root, e.g.:
cd fvwm95-2.0.43c/
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
[tons 'o errors]
I'm not an expert on autoconf etc. yet, but I just bought the GNU Autoconf,
Automake and LibTool book this week for a project I'm doing at work, so I
may be able to fix the config files for fvwm95 within a couple of weeks.
For now I'm just going to set this package aside.
