It should compile with very few problems. All you need to make the
front-end work are glib and gtk, both can be found at http://www.gtk.org/
and should happily compile on any modern Unix system (Caldera's Linux
included--GTK compiled with no problems on HP-UX 9 with a GCC from the
early 90's). AbiWord does not require any GNOME libraries.
