If you are talking about the root Makefile then it is there.. on CVS
(Makefile rev 1.2).

Which old one and which last one? 
Here is a diff of 1.1 and 1.2's Makefile:

I'm confused ;)

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

No, not in one or more directories. Okay, I think I might know what
happened.. but not sure how it happened. It's supposed to have copied
the files/* onto $(SHAREPATH)/share/hwm

----
DEST  = /usr/local
SHAREPATH= $(DEST)/share/hwm
cd files && cp -r * $(SHAREPATH) && if ! test -e ~/.hwm ;\
        then (echo 'mkdir -p ~/.hwm && \
        cp defaults ~/.hwm && cp appdefaults ~/.hwm && cp menuconfig
~/.hwm \
        && cp -r Desktop ~/.hwm') | su $${LOGNAME} ; fi

-------

The above is an excerpt of the relevant lines. So, it didn't create any
~/.hwm , neither did it copy the files/* contents to where it was
supposed to.

Well, now that you ask ;) Maybe a move to an auto-configuration tool?
Dare I say the autotools ;) And if you don't like to mess with it and
are like Chahine (who I hope wakes out his coma by now), you may want to
give 'chonfigure' a look (tools/chonfigure on cvs).

Hrmm.. okay, well I am relying on what's on CVS to be the most upto-date
changes, if not the latest working upto-date version ;)

It would be nice if you would also tag the versions.

All this is trying to do is highlight the importance of making the
source compile and work under every target system. I'm doing this on
a Linux system (so, no FreeBSD.. though it shouldn't matter).
