Hi all, I've been slowly working at getting abiword working on haiku again. I found the old beos code (last alive in svn revision 16940), have copied it into the appropriate places in the abiword 2.8.6 source tree, and have been working on getting it re-integrated into the build system. Then comes actually updating the code to match the current APIs (both abiword and haiku/beos). Looking at API changes between these two versions, it looks like getting the build system working may be the more challenging of the two tasks, especially as I'm not so hot with autotools so I've basically been working through automake files one at a time without really knowing if what I'm doing is completely correct (or maybe this what almost everyone does with autotools :D). This mail isn't really to ask any specific questions, but more a hello message. I've been quietly working on this for a while, and after some talk on the haiku forums (https://www.haiku-os.org/community/forum/koffice_not_opening_well_abiword#comment-25858) I decided contacting you guys might help me push it along a bit. Hopefully you might also be able to help when I'm stuck in understanding what a specific AM file is meant to do! Thanks, Ed
