Can anyone give advice on installing AbiWord on FreeBSD? (FreeBSD
4.3-20010624-STABLE) I have tried the /usr/port mechanism which attempts
to build version 0.7 but the build fails. I have also tried downloading
version 0.9.4.1 but that build also fails (apparently in a different
way). I will forgo discussion of the /usr/port and focus on
the 0.9.4.1 downloadable version. I did the following:
downloaded abiword-0.9.4.1.tar.gz
extracted using:
gunzip -c abiword-0.9.4.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
(successful)
cd abiword-0.9.4.1/abi
(successful)
su root ...
(successful)
gmake UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 install
(last portion of output below)
[Note that FreeBSD "make" fails immediately
with
"Error expanding embedded variable."
so I used gmake explicitly. Also I notice
in the output text that
glib-config cannot be found.
I am not sure why LIBDIR appears
to be undefined. I see it in the Makefile
in the libiconv/libcharset/lib subdirectory
and in fact when I just type "make"
in that subdirectory I get no complaint.]
