I said a while ago I would work on this and have finally gotten around to it. Here is the nearly final version based on all the options I have received and seen off the list.
Compiling options Feature =[on,off] Cross platform options prefix=/usr/local or prefix=/usr/share set AbiWords (preferred) install path ABI_BUILD_VERSION=x.y.z set Abiword compile version ABI_OPT_DEBUG=[1,0] enable debugging ABI_OPT_LIBXML2=[1,0] enable LibXML2 support UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=[1,0] Include all libraries within Abi's structure UNIX_CAN_BUILD_DYNAMIC=[1,0] Link to libraries in Operating System ABI_OPT_GNOME=[1,0] enable Gnome support ABI_OPT_LIBJPEG=[1,0] enable LibJPEG support ABI_OPT_BIDI_ENABLED=[1,0] enable Bidirectional text support ABI_OPT_BIDI_RTL_DOMINANT=[1,0] enable Right-to-Left Bidirectional support ABI_OPT_PERL=[1,0] enable Perl scripting ABI_OPT_OPTIMIZE=[1,0] ABI_OPT_PSPELL=[1,0] enable Pspell ABI_OPT_PROF=[1,0] for profiling flags I think ABI_OPT_WAY_TOO_MANY_WARNINGS=[1,0] linux one to disable some warnings??? Linux specific options ABI_OPT_GNOME=[1,0] enable Gnome support ABI_OPT_BONOBO=[1,0] enable Bonobo support ABI_OPT_LIBJPEG=[1,0] enable LibJPEG support ABI_REQUIRE_PEER_ICONV=[1,0] require LibICONV support to build ABI_REQUIRE_PEER_LIBPNG=[1,0] require LibPNG support to build Windows specific options ABI_OPT_CYGWIN_UNIX=[1,0] (cywin/gcc/gtk instead of native windows build) These are used, but generally should be left unset so they are auto set. OS_NAME OS_RELEASE ABISOURCE_LICENSED_TRADEMARKS To build a distribution on Linux. prefix=/usr/local ABI_BUILD_VERSION=x.y.z ABI_RELEASE_NUMBER=n \ ABI_DIST_TARGET=rpm OUT=<dir> \ ABI_BUILD_PACKAGER="You <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" ABI_OPT_LIBXML2=[1,0] enable LibXML2 support ABI_OPT_PERL=[1,0] enable Perl scripting Question 1: What is Bonobo, and why would I enable it? Q2: What is LibXML? Q3: What is 'ABI_OPT_OPTIMIZE' optimizing? Q4: I know Gnome is Linux specific, but what else is? I would like to list them as such. Recommendations? Scott Bingman
