Hi John,
          Thanks very much for your interest. You need to build main
abiword library. And you need to build it with the "--enable-dynamic"
passed at the configure stage.

There is a lot more on the wiki about build plugins here:

http://www.abisource.com/wiki/Compiling_AbiWord
http://www.abisource.com/wiki/AbiWord_SDK

Good luck and feel free to ask more questions as you need to.

Cheers

Martin
