I'm pleased to announce that as of yesterday, thanks to Jordan Hubbard and
the folks at FreeBSD, we have a FreeBSD machine happily humming along in our
build farm. What does this mean?
FreeBSD binaries for AbiWord...
... coming as soon as we polish up some other details on the upcoming 0.7.6
release. :-)
In the mean time, we encourage anyone interested in the FreeBSD version to
take a look at the latest CVS sources and make sure that everything is up to
snuff. At the moment, we're confident that we'll be able to release vanilla
.tar.gz packages for this platform, but I don't know what (if anything)
still needs to be done to so we can also spit out true FreeBSD packages that
Just Work, out-of-the-box.
For more packaging details, see the following threads:

Or just dive into the following portions of the source tree:
abi/src/config/
abi/src/pkg/linux/
abi/src/pkg/sunos/
and figure out how to properly populate the following new subtree:
abi/src/pkg/freebsd/
Enjoy!
