I'm happy to see that the documentation is complete enough so that you can
build it without anyhelp. That is a first achivement :-)
Did you use the "make" or the "./configure; make" process ?

Currently don't consider AbiWord for MacOS X as a working product. It is
not, it is still work in progress and the core is still not in place. It may
crash (and actually does to some extent).
Currently I only launch AbiWord from the command line. I also only build
debug build to be sure I get all the debugging information that get
displayed in the Terminal.app

Yeah, I'm the only developer on the list, hence discussing it would be a
monologue :-)
BTW for the reason explained above there is no user yet.
