Tired of such questions, I've changed it to:
<<
0) Sum up
----------
* Procedure is :
vi Imakefile ; ./configure ; xmkmf ; make Makefiles ; make ;
su root -c "make install ; make install.man" ; echo afterstep > ~/.xinitrc ;
startx
* or just run install.script if you don't understand what this line does.

And added an install.script :
<<
#!/bin/sh
echo "You must be root to run this script (try \"su root\" if you aren't root)"
./configure
xmkmf
make Makefiles
make
make install ; make install.man
mv ~/.xinitrc ~/xinitrc.before.AfterStep
echo "exec afterstep" > ~/.xinitrc
echo "Now please run startx to use AfterStep !"
