Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &AbiWord-md5sum; Download size: &AbiWord-size; Estimated disk space required: &AbiWord-buildsize; Estimated build time: &AbiWord-time; AbiWord Dependencies Required and Optional (for GNOME-2 support), , Enchant (uses ), wv (with libwmf installed first), and Valgrind Optional for Plugins (to build the OpenDocument/OpenOffice plugin), (for the pdf plugin, requires installing with unsupported xpdf headers), , (for GNOME-2 support), (you must use a version of GOffice <0.3.0), Link Grammar, Aiksaurus, libgnomedb version <1.3.0* (requires libgda version <1.3.0), libwmf, GtkMathView (requires Gnome DOM Bindings which requires gdome2), libwpd, OTS, and Psiconv * The libgda/libgnomedb stack required for AbiWord database access may conflict with the versions used by the database plugin. Though the libraries themselves pose no conflict, the executables and support files will overwrite one another. Note that the current (version 3.0.x) stack does not pose a conflict with any of the previous versions (but does not support AbiWord or Gnumeric database access. AbiWord requires versions <1.3.0 (1.2.2 is known to work). User Notes: Install AbiWord by running the following commands: cd abi && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && cd ../abiword-plugins && sed -i 's/dictionary_file)/reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char *>(&)/' \ tools/ots/xp/AbiOts.cpp && ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-inter7eps && make && cd .. If you wish to create the API documentation, must be installed and issue the following commands: pushd abi && doxygen && popd This package's test suite requires Valgrind. Though the end message will indicate the tests failed, there will actually be many tests that run to a successful completion. Run the tests by issuing the following commands: pushd abi && make check && popd Now, as the root user: cd abi && make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/abiword-&AbiWord-version; && install -v -m644 docs/*.* \ /usr/share/doc/abiword-&AbiWord-version; && cd ../abiword-plugins && make install && cd .. AbiWord is now installed and must be used to build the Help files. Issue the following commands as an unprivileged user: pushd abiword-docs && ./make-html.sh && cd .. Then as the root user, install the help files: install -v -m644 man/abiword.1 /usr/share/man/man1 && install -v -m644 Manual/en/Abiword_Manual.abw \ /usr/share/doc/abiword-&AbiWord-version; && cp -v -Rf help /usr/share/AbiSuite-&AbiWord-minor-version;/AbiWord && find /usr/share/AbiSuite-&AbiWord-minor-version;/AbiWord/help \ -type d -exec chmod -v 755 {} \; If you have a GNOME installation, issue the following commands as the root user to install the AbiWord Bonobo component description file: install -v -m644 abidistfiles/GNOME_AbiWord_Control_&AbiWord-under-version;.server \ $(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/bonobo/servers && if [ $(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) != "/usr" ]; then rmdir -v /usr/lib/{bonobo/servers,bonobo} fi If you built the API documentation, install it by issuing the following commands as the root user: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/abiword-&AbiWord-version;/api && for FILENAME in $(ls abi/docs/dox/html); do install -v -m644 abi/docs/dox/html/${FILENAME} \ /usr/share/doc/abiword-&AbiWord-version;/api done --without-inter7eps: Some of the headers from the EPS package are not compatible with GCC-&gcc-version;.

If you have installed, you should run the update-desktop-database command to update the mimeminfo cache and allow the Help system to work.
