You must have missed this part?:
Before You Begin
To know what is going in with the source tree you should be reading mail on the Fvwm Workers List. See the Mailing List Info
page for more information.
To build FVWM from the CVS sources, you must have several GNU tools:
the CVS client version 1.9 or better,
GCC,
GNU make, <============================
autoconf, version 2.13 or better, and
automake, version 1.4 or better.
Without these tools, you won't be able to build out of the CVS source tree. But don't despair: download one of the daily snapshots
instead!
For me, "gnumake", or "gmake" installs by default as "make".
(I admit, I don't like that, and I rename it "gnumake".)
