Makefile Problems

Hello. I'm currently attempting to install AfterStep on my SunOS UNIX
account at work, and I need some assistance with errors that I'm having
in creating the AfterStep Makefiles for compiling. I don't have root
access, and I've already read the appropriate sections of the on-line
documentation relating to non-root installations. My problems seem to
be stemming from the ~/AfterStep/afterdoc directory when I am creating
the makefiles, following the README instructions step 1-2:
------------------- AfterStep README clipping -------------------------
1-2) Execute the following commands to configure and compile AfterStep :
Run configure to guess system-dependant options :
./configure
Create Makefiles :
xmkmf
make Makefiles
Launch compilation then have a cup of coffee (drink slowly :-] )
make
Monitor the output of the above commands for possible error messages !
------------------ end AfterStep README clipping ----------------------
------------------------- xterm clipping ------------------------------

------------------------- end xterm clipping ------------------------
It seems that before it gets to the ~/AfterStep/afterdoc directory,
everything is fine, but once it gets to the /afterdoc directory,
something is incongruent between the directory calls within the Makefile
and the actual paths that exist in ~/AfterStep/afterdoc.
If someone could please tell me how to correct or circumvent these
errors it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Erik
