I'm attempting to build AbiWord on Solaris i86 version 2.6 . I have
gcc 2.8.1, binutils 2.7, gnu make 3.76.1
I have abi-0.7.1.tar.gz and expat-0.7.1.tar.gz from
http://www.abisource.com/downloads/Version-0.7.1/lf/
Unpacking these gives me /opt/abi-0.7.1 and /opt/expat
When I try and build abi (having fixed the expat makefiles to look in
/opt/abi-0.7.1 rather than ../abi for configuration files) I
get the following output:
Pete@cornfed>make

gennmtab.c:459: output pipe has been closed
make[6]: *** [/opt/abi-0.7.1/src/SunOS_5.6_i86pc_OBJ/obj/gennmtab.o] Error 1
I realise that this is an 'expat' problem rather than an AbiSource
problem, but has anyone else had similar problems and managed to resolve
them?
Regards
Pete
