Hi,
I am new to this list and abiword development/building.
I faced some problems when trying to build from the cvs source
(my system is Debian 2.2r0 "Potato" (from August 2000).
This is what I did as described on the build web page:
* checked out the cvs source
* cd'ed to abi directory
* and typed make
(just make, by the way how does the make get to know my system
without a (auto)configure step?)
Now my whole terminal screen is full of unreadable rubbish. There
seems to be some control char somewhere in the Makefiles that makes my
terminal switch. I have learned somewhere that (blindly) typing cat
/bin/ls is a cure and in fact it switches my terminal back - I forgot
where I have learned that trick. Obviously this is not a solution.
There is another problem: When reading the first lines of the
make output - the few that are still readable - I see this:
make[1]: gtk-config: Command not found
Which debian pkgs am I missing? This is the gtk related stuff
currently installed on my system:
reuleaux@mousehouse (~) >dpkg -l | grep gtk
ii libgnorbagtk0 1.0.56-3 Gnome CORBA services (Gtk bindings)
ii libgtk1.2 1.2.7-1 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X
ii libgtk1.2-dev 1.2.7-1 Development files for the GIMP Toolkit
ii libgtkxmhtml1 1.0.56-3 The Gnome gtkxmhtml (HTML) widget
ii libobgtk1 1.0.40-2 Objective-C - Gtk bindings
ii python-gtk 0.6.3-5 GTK support module for Python.
ii rep-gtk 0.7-1 GTK binding for librep

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
