I apology if I'm sending thi message to the wrong person, please let me know
whom may I contact for assistance.
I got your address in the /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/abi/BUILD file. I'm
experiencing a difficulty that has so far prevented me from successfully
compiling AbiWord.
After moving in the abiword-0.9.4.1/abi directory, I run autogen.sh and then
configure:
[root@ogscuritas /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/abi]# ./autogen.sh
automake (GNU automake) 1.4
Creating aclocal.m4...
configure.in:294: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling

You can run ./configure now.
[root@ogscuritas /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/abi]# ./configure

Configured to build on a Unix/Linux platform.
XML Parser: supplied expat in /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/expat
PNG Library: supplied libpng in /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/libpng
Psiconv Library: supplied psiconv in /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/psiconv
WV Library: supplied wv in /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/wv
Type make to build AbiWord.
Now the trouble begins:
make -C /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/expat
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/expat'
cd lib; make
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/expat/lib'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/psiconv'
make -C /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/wv
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/wv'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/wv'
make: *** [wv] Error 2
The /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1/wv directory is pretty empty, in fact:
[root@obscuritas /usr/src/abiword-0.9.4.1]# ll wv

There are just a few non-zero sized *.doc files in the wv/examples directory.
How can I solve this?
I read this procedure in the BUILD file:
===========================================================================
Well, Jesper asked for this at GUADEC, so here it is. The following
tarball contains the entire abiword tree, but none of the peer
directories, since they haven't been changed. Here's how I would
reccomend playing with it:
$ wget http://abisource.com/~sam/abi-auto.tar.gz
$ mkdir abi-auto
$ cd abi-auto
$ tar -xzvf ../abi-auto.tar.gz
$ ln -s ../wv wv
$ ln -s ../psiconv psiconv
$ ln -s ../expat expat
$ pwd
abi-auto
$ ls
abi expat psiconv wv
$ cd abi
$ ./autogen.sh [ this runs automake and autoconf ]
$ cd ..
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../abi/configure
$ make
Should I download the abi-auto.tar.gz file instead of the
abiword-0.9.4.1.tar.gz ?
Thank you for considering this message and for having contributed in giving
us AbiWord.
