Dear Mohammed,
I don't know what OS you are working on, but as far as i know it should work.

make sure that the variable "DEST" is there in Makefile and not commeted"
DEST  = /usr/local
or
DEST  = /usr

there is a small deferent in  the Makefile between old one and the last one, the new Makefile installes noarch files to 
$DIST/share/hwm
libraries to $DIST/lib
and binaries to $DIST/bin

and i think this is what you mean by not installing everything in one dir?

I don't know why the library is not linked, if you see the Makefile you will see the lines:
	ln -sf $(LIBPATH)/libhwm.so.0.1.9 $(LIBPATH)/libhwm.so.0.1
	ln -sf $(LIBPATH)/libhwm.so.0.1 $(LIBPATH)/libhwm.so.0
	ln -sf $(LIBPATH)/libhwm.so.0 $(LIBPATH)/libhwm.so
LIBPATH is $DIST/lib, is there anything that i should change with it?

from what i can see i think that the variables are not probebly defind in your Makefile and i don't know why?

Regards,
Haydar

-------------------

I have tried compiling and installing hwm for the first time today. The
'make install' doesn't really copy all the necessary files to the
directories hwm expects them to be in.

For example, everything under 'files/' essentially is expected to be
somewhere in /usr/local/share/hwm/ .. 

Also, hwm is linked against libhwm.so.0 which is not installed. There is
a libhwm.so.0.1.9 that gets copied into /usr/local/lib but no symbolic
links are made to allow the binary to run.

Again, these are really issues that deal with the installation from
source.. The above is trivial enough to work around, but it makes me
feel that perhaps there are other things that I didn't do properly and
so I can't really judge if I'm testing the entire installed wm or a part
of it.

later
