Hi fvwm-users,

I'm hoping that I'm not the only one who uses the /opt approach to
installing non-system software, and that someone has already
encountered and conquered this problem.

I'm trying to install fvwm in the directory /opt/fvwm-1.24r , ie:
under this directory is a bin, and man page, and then links are made
into /usr/local/ - this approach greatly reduces the effort required
to maintain such packages, especially when removing old versions.
Anyway, I've successfully compiled fvwm several times now, only to
realise that paths like /usr/X11/bin and /usr/man are hard coded in
the Makefiles (produced by imake).

Does anyone know how to twist things so that the hard coded paths are
/opt/fvwm etc?? I don't feel like manually reqriting all the
makefiles.

thanks in advance,

Steve
