Hello, everyone. I, too, am interested in getting involved with AbiWord's development; I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks, now, reading things and figuring out how to set up for contribution (including learning introductory CVS, among other things).
That said, I hope I'm not making a really silly mistake (which I probably am, as everyone else can build this thing but me). I have the abi, expat, and wv code in peer directories, and went to the abi directory and ran `make`. I obtained the abi code by `cvs checkout abi` today. Here's what I got as a result of `make 2> errors.txt`:
In file included from ie_imp_MsWord_97.h:26,

make[2]: *** [build] Error 2

What am I messing up? :-) I was thinking of taking a crack at some of the listed bugs as a starting point. If anyone else has other things that would be good for me to try, I'm more than willing.
Thanks - for any help you can provide and for the word processor in general, which I have enjoyed using (including on my term paper this past semester).
