Sounds like it. You might need to grab the waders and muck around in
${OPENWINHOME}/lib/config to fix the problem.

I had the same problem with NetBSD/i386. I just patched fvwm.c to remove
the basename reference.

The output looks like:
punk:/usr/local/build/fvwm-2.0.39/fvwm>./fvwm --bleck
fvwm: Unknown option: `--bleck'
Fvwm Version 2.0.39 Usage:
./fvwm [-d dpy] [-debug] [-f config_cmd] [-s] [-blackout] [-version] [-h]
My best guess is: It would have trimmed the directory ("./") out.
Nothing major, just a cosmetic change.
Looks like libgen (libgen.h, -lgen) handles this in solaris, and libutil
(util.h (?), -lutil) in others (linux?). (Mebbe, lots of speculation here)
Of which, neither exist in a base NetBSD system.
I had another complaint, tho.. (a minor nag).. can we use a fully-qualified
directory name in the distribution tarball? fvwm/foo, as compared to
fvwm-2.0.39/foo, is highly annoying when I want to keep at least one old
revision around.
Otherwise, keep up the good work.
