I've been using 2.0.40 under IRIX 5.3. There are no oddities to
getting it to work. Here's a copy of my "what-I-did" file, for IRIX
and Solaris, using ksh. This keeps sources in a /c/src directory, and
installs fvwm into a /usr/fvwm directory, so make the appropriate
changes.

#
# What I did to get and build fvwm 2.0.40 on 12/28/95. Pete Siemsen.
#
#
# Get Fvwm.

cd /c/src
ftp -n ftp.hpc.uh.edu
user anonymous siemsen_at_ucar.edu
cd /pub/fvwm/version-2
binary
get fvwm-2.0.40.tar.gz
quit
gunzip fvwm-2.0.40.tar.gz
tar xf fvwm-2.0.40.tar
rm fvwm-2.0.40.tar
mv fvwm fvwm-2.0.40
cd fvwm-2.0.40

#
# If needed, get and install libXpm.a from ftp.x.org
#

#
# Prepare to build. Install things under /usr/fvwm.
