did you get any answers yet?

I got:
imake -DUseInstalled -I/XTech/lib/X11/config
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 231: Unexpected end of line seen

this is the line:
XCOMM Template file for Fvwm

I commented out the XCOMM lines from Fvwm.tmpl.

this did more: But I got:
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 265: Unexpected end of line seen
Current working directory /home/vta_host/albrecht/fvwm-2.0.41/sample.fvwmrc

this looks as follows:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
all::
        _at_echo "make in $(CURRENT_DIR) done"

InstallNonExecFile(system.fvwmrc,$(FVWMDIR))

###########################################################################
# common rules for all Makefiles - do not edit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this obviously comes from the imakefile:

#ifdef InstallSample
InstallNonExecFile(system.fvwmrc,$(FVWMDIR))
#endif

setting to InstallSample to NO doesn't help since it's an ifdef.
Commenting it out doesn't help either, since there is an
#ifndef InstallSample
#define InstallSample NO
further down in Fvwm.tmpl

So I put out the
InstallNonExecFile(system.fvwmrc,$(FVWMDIR))
from the Imakefile.

that helped.
Question:
        Bug in our imake configuration -
                where does this InstallNonExecFile come from?
        Bug in imakefile (ifdef)?



now 'make' worked smooth.

only when I said make install.man, it didn't take the configured path
FvwmManPath but MANDIR:

InstallManPage(program,$(MANDIR))

I changed all instanced of MANDIR to MANPATH.


questions: do I need to have our imake configuration upgraded to handle
XCOMM, InstallNonExecFile or are these bugs.

did I do the right things?
or are there other fixes?
