You need to download and install the XPM library (libXpm) first.  You can
find precompiled versions of both this and fvwm in the NetBSD-Amiga
archives (there should be several mirrors of this around the world).  In
addition, I believe the new package system includes both.

The above just means that you have to have the library in a known library
path before you compile fvwm.  And, yes, fvwm does work just fine in B&W
mode.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
