Attempting to install Fvwm Crystal.

[wheelnut]

Greetings,

I haven't researched this as fully as I should. Colleagues have been pressuring me to get a move on. ..the world up-ending and all.. maybe somebody here can glance at this and just "know" the answer..

I'm trying to download and install the Crystal desktop for Open. The installation instructions -seem- pretty simple: Fvwm Crystal. Download, [apparently] move to a separate directory, make install.

I get:

make: don't know how to make install
Stop in /home/aragorn/crystal

This is as root. Same thing if as user. I am doing this from the workspace of fvwm. ..should I instead be doing it from the "black-screen with text" that you get if X isn't running? ..or is.. or do I need to install make? I see several options available:

cmake
gmake
imake
xmake..

..tempted to test those to see what happens..
did. cmake and gmake. no dice. different errors for both. might report them, but until I have some inkling of what I -should- be doing, seems pointless.
