Hmmm. I guess that this is the problem then:

(cd ${DIRNAME} && ${FDESIGN} -convert ${FDFILE}) ||
{
        echo "\"${FDESIGN} -convert ${FDFILE}}\" failed. Please investigate."
        exit 1
}

IIRC, fdesign must be run in the directory containing the .fd file.
That changes with XForms 1.1, allowing '-dir destdir' to be passed to
fdesign so that it outputs all generated files in destdir. That's no
help here of course because we still support XForms 1.0.

So I guess that you'll have to copy ${FDFILE} over to the build tree
if build tree != src tree. You'll then be able to run fdesign in the
build directory.
