Since this happens with the stable version, you may report this here.
2.5.x problems are to be discussed on fvwm-workers_at_fvwm.org not to flood
readers that don't use development versions.

I know it is 2.4.x in your case, but specifying a version helps us anyway.
Specify your compiler and what `uname -a` returns. I think your compiler
is not very standard. Can you try gcc? If no, you should try to port fvwm
to your system and compiler (it may be either trivial or difficult).

In line 120 of fvwm.h comment out (or delete) 4 from 5 lines except
for one or another #define. Tell us which #define worked on your system.
You probably will have more errors if your compiler is not standard.

Regards,
Mikhael.
