About all I can suggest is to make sure you've got the directory
structures laid out right so our Makefiles can find wv, etc.
It sounds like you do, though.

someworkfolder/
abi/
wv/
expat/
libpng/
abidistfiles/
unixfonts/
zlib/
etc...

And a build from within "someworkfolder/abi/" should find
everything fine. You might try doing an update of the
abi and wv trees ("cvs update -d abi wv") to get any Makefile
changes that might have happened recently, or you might
try checking them all out again if you have the bandwidth.
