    hello there,

    i am using gcc-2.95.3 and i have gnome 1.2, if i run
    make UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 ABI_OPT_GNOME=1
    in the abi sub directory, i get an error that my c compiler cannot
    create executables... i KNOW it can, i've compiled this entire system
    with it, i'm running LFS-3.0... what is going on? also, how can i pass a
    prefix to this and also remove -g debugging symbols?

    i would much rather use the standard GNU compile procedure than this
    breakaway variat, so in a failed attempt to get a configure script
    (which should be in the bottom directory anyway), i tried to run
    autogen.sh, but this is the output;
    root:/usr/src/abiword-1.0.1/abi:./autogen.sh
    automake (GNU automake) 1.5
    Creating aclocal.m4...
    aclocal: both `configure.ac' and `configure.in' present: ignoring
    `configure.in'
    automake: both `configure.ac' and `configure.in' present: ignoring
    `configure.in'
    Can't call method "target_hook" on an undefined value at
    /usr/bin/automake line 1943.

    and i also tried autoconf, but;
    root:/usr/src/abiword-1.0.1/abi:autoconf
    autoconf: warning: both `configure.ac' and `configure.in' are present.
    autoconf: warning: proceeding with `configure.ac'.
    configure.ac:28: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
    configure.ac:42: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE
    configure.ac:56: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL

    how am i supposed to compile abiword? i am very keen to use it, i've
    heard great things.
    thanks in advance!
    Sam
