    It should still be the latest, though you can also view it from:
    (updated nightly)
    http://abiword.pchasm.org/source/cvs/abiword-cvs/abi/docs/build/BUILD.html
    (updated constantly)
    http://www.abisource.com/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=abi/docs/build/BUILD.TXT&rev=&root=/cvsroot
    and there is also my build docs with are very similar
    http://abiword.pchasm.org/source/docs/abi2build.html

    Assuming its similar to
    *** No rule to make target`/tinderbox/abi/src/WIN32_1.3.2_i386_OBJ/obj/xap_Win32FrameImpl.obj',
    then sounds about right.

    which tarball? The 1.1.2 tarballs from sourceforge should compile,
    whereas the HEAD abi tarball on abiword.pchasm.org will fail until the
    Windows build is fixed (it was broke in the recent refactoring changes).

    Yes, the remaining ones are the same for HEAD and STABLE so you
    should get them from the section labeled 'HEAD and SHARED'

    seems you get further than my tinderbox for stable, need to double check
    with a fresh build & reboot.

    I would recommend you get either the 1.1.2 tarball from sourceforge,
    or get the abi module from cvs from a couple days back; my last
    successful build was 11/22, but part of that was dns issues
    (my dns servers seem to fail to resolve *.abisource.com, luckily
     I have my HOSTS file, just needed to add cvs.abisource.com to it :-)
    You can also get an earlier STABLE tarball from sourceforge, I built
    both HEAD and STABLE just a few weeks ago for Windows, so if you
    go for not quite the latest you should be ok.

    I'll try later today or tommorrow (if no one else has done so) to
    get the Windows Head build back going and update the tarballs on
    my site (pchasm.org). I really need to do some work for my FreeDOS
    distribution 1st.

    If you need any other help, let me know and I will try my best,
