If your imake doesn't know all about the development environment,
that's the misconfiguration of imake :-) Imake SHOULD know the environment.

Hmm :-) Then, everyone gets X11R6 distribution and make their own X if
they can, right? :-)

Sorry I'm not familiar with autoconf, Does autoconf uses the
informaiton of $XTOP/lib/config ? or simply kicks imake to use ?

***

Maybe the best (ie, easy, reliable, and portable) procedure of fvwm
compilation is:

1) Edit configulation file to specify the features (XPM and so on).
        It should be included to step 2) ?
2) do './configure'.
        Configure makes Imakefile, and do 'xmkmf', 'make Makefiles',
        and so on ('xmkmf -a' is enough ?).
3) do 'make'.
        **/Makefile is already generated by imake.
4) do 'make install'
        Wow, it's happy :-)

Any comments ?
