You don't have to compile anything yourself. If you do want to compile it yourself, you have to change the top line in the Emakefile to match your Yaws path before you call 'make'. I don't recommend keeping the ErlyWeb files in the project directory. There's nothing horribly wrong about it, but it may give you the false impression that you can have multiple apps running with different versions of ErlyWeb, which is not the case. I think it's more straightforward to install ErlyWeb in the Erlang code path.
