Now I am trying to help AbiSource to develop their AbiWord running under
FreeBSD!
Here are a package for FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE or later.
http://wm28.csie.ncu.edu.tw/AbiWord-19990620-dev.tgz
Sorry for no port, there are some non-vanilla code in the package! (like
UT_Getopt! :)
And I think I can provide a package for FreeBSD when AbiSource release their
new AbiWord. But I can't provide a port for FreeBSD, beause AbiWord is still
developed!
Like FreeBSD-CURRENT, there are only some snapshot, no release! :)
