The project has not made any file releases yet. It is being developed in its SVN repository which you can check out using the command:
svn co https://ulc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ulc/trunk/uc
After you've checked out the source and entered the uc directory, a simple make command should build UC and you should be able to run it by executing the uc executable.
In practice, however, many problems may occur. There may be problems with missing dependencies, distribution-specific issues or anything else. The makefile does not do any dependency checks and GNU autoconf won't be used in the future, because it has issues. Alternative means of dependency checking however will be provided in the future to ease the installation.
It is possible that the code is in an inconsistent state when you check it out and it doesn't compile. The most likely reason in these situations is that a file wasn't added to the repository, but regardless of the reason, here is the solution:
After you've checked the SVN out, you should see the current revision:
Checked out revision 100.
If you cannot compile this revision due to broken code, you should step back a revision, one by one, until you find a working revision by issuing the commands:
svn up -r 99 svn up -r 98 svn up -r 97 ...
