many of the problems you report below are based at looking at uwin through
windows
specifically, using ``cl'' directly on the command line,
and reporting workarounds using DOS paths and CMD.EXE command lines
all of the non uwin source packages on the sw/download site are for unix-like
systems
uwin is one of those
windows is not
the uwin and ast source packages build with uwin cc(1) and uwin at&t nmake(1)
(or more generally by the package(1) command) from a uwin ksh(1) prompt
there's no surprise that the unix-like source fails to build from a
raw cl command line -- it was not intended to build that way
even to build native windows executables, like the ast ratz for sears
(self extracting archives) you use the uwin ncc(1) from a ksh(1) prompt
here are the steps to build the uwin and non uwin source packages
(1) install the { uwin-base uwin-dev } binary packages
(2) mkdir -p /usr/lib/package/tgz
(3) copy the source .tgz files to /usr/lib/package/tgz
start with { INIT ast-open }
(4) cd /usr
(5) package read
(6) package make
this is a viewpath build
all generated files will be in the /usr/arch/win32.i386 directory tree,
viewpathed on the /usr tree
see the sw/download FAQ for more info on viewpathing
when that works you can try the uwin source package and some other packages
but note that ast-open covers most of the other sw/download packages
coverage is noted on the main sw/download package list
I'm glad you are digging into uwin
but you will make a better connection with the uwin audience
if you do the digging from the unix side
of course, with the exception of bootstrap install/uninstall problems
like the rmdir problems you noted below
thanks
