[comp.sys.atari.st] UWSERVER -> Help!!!!

Help!!!! I just got the UNIX end to the UNIX Windows program from the
archives at lakesys. I uudecoded (using Dumas' uudecode) and de-arced
using arc 5.21. There seemed to be no trouble. But when I transferred all
the files back to UNIX to try to get the server running, I discovered that
there were no directions as to what to do (no README file or anything). So 
I just started poking around in hopes that I'd find something that would 
work. I have a 4.2BSD system so I moved the "makefile_4.2" to "Makefile"  and
tried a "make" command. First I get an error that says that "../DEFINES" does
not exist, and next I'm told that "uw_clk.h" does not exist. After poking
around and manipulating the order that the makefile compiles the files, I
discovered that several other header files seemed to be missing. I'm guessing
that the "../DEFINES" is supposed to be a file containing compiler flags?
It seems to me that either I'm missing too many files, or I have to
reconstruct a lot of the server from just looking at the other files. Am
I really missing some files? I got uwserver.uaa and uwserver.uab from
lakesys. 

What am I doing wrong?????????


Any help is GREATLY appreciated (I've been looking for the UNIX end to
UW for a long time, and now that I get it, I can't get it to work).


Thanx

Sounds pretty odd to me; the Unix uw program set that I have consists of
only 4 files - two source, 1 header, and 1 doc. Compile the two source
files with "cc -o outfile srcfile" - no makefile, no extra directories of
stuff, etc. (uw.c, uwtool.c, uw.h, uw.1) Works just fine. Send mail if
you want to see it.
