irix 6.3 problems and solutions.

I thought I'd share my experiences getting AbiWord to build on Irix
6.3.

I downloaded AbiWord 0.7.1 and could not get it to build on my system
(Irix 6.3, egcs 1.1.2) until I made the make process ignore Irix's PNG
library, which is broken on my system. Maybe SGI fixed it in Irix
6.5.

In the directories abi/src/af/gr/unix/ and abi/src/af/xap/unix/, I
modified Makefile to have -I$(ABI_ROOT)/../libpng in INCLUDES.

And in the the directory abi/src/wp/main/unix, I modified the Makefile
to use the Abi-supplied libpng. It still doesn't work because for some
reason the Irix Image Format Library is being linked dynamically, but
at least it builds now.

Has anyone else gotten AbiWord to build under Irix 6.3?

Thanks,
Michael
