I'm not quite sure what you mean, but this might be it :)
I install afterstep at work, where I am not root, so I put the "global"
config files in $HOME/pkg/AfterStep-1.6.10
the per-user stuff still goes in G/L/A, though. The way to do what I do
is this:
cd /home/einstein/mstenner/pkg/AfterStep-1.6.10/
mkdir -p bin
mkdir -p share
mkdir -p man/man1
./configure --prefix=/home/einstein/mstenner/pkg/AfterStep-1.6.10
make
make install
I then make symlinks for all of the manpages and afterstep binaries.
Afterstep will automatially find the stuff in share.
Hope that helps!
