Hi,

[tried sending a verbatim copy of
http://www.advogato.org/person/robsta/diary.html?start=81first, but
managed to mistype the abiword-dev email address]

Anyways, so as explained it's possible to build and run a (not really
functional) version of abiword/win32 on linux, using
libabiword-builder and wine. Here's some update over the weblog entry:

Get our own win32 dependencies (enchant, fribidi, wv) from
http://abisource.com/~robsta/win32/ . Be aware those are not
production quality builds, rather just hacked together to link abiword
against.

I've been improving the build system so the win32 resource files are
built and linked (following what the mingw diving Makefile build
does), unfortunately most dialogs still don't work. Any insight by
win32 devs would be highly appreciated.

For building you need to
(1) apply the attached patch to the peer abiword source tree and
(2) symlink the peer abiword-extras to peer abidistfiles, so
AbiWord.exe.MANIFEST is found.

Best,
Rob
