-Installing AbiWord on FreeBSD / INTEL
-Welcome to the community of AbiWord users! -
The current version of AbiWord (0.7.12) should install and run properly -one FreeBSD 3.2 systems with a INTEL (or INTEL-COMPATIBLE) processor. AbiWord -has been packaged in several different distribution formats to simplify -the installation on your system: -
-
-TGZ --- Native FreeBSD 3.2 package
- -
-TAR --- Statically linked for older versions of FreeBSD
-
-A much more detailed version of these instructions is contained in the -README -. -
-
-
-TGZ
-The TGZ installation process is very simple. -
-
-Download the distribution files ( -AbiSuite-0.7.12.tgz -, 2.7MB).
- -
-Become superuser, enter the command: - -
   pkg_add AbiSuite-0.7.12.tgz
- -
-This will install AbiWord and supporting files to -/usr/local/AbiSuite/ -. Symbolic links called -AbiWord -and -abiword -will -be placed in -/usr/local/bin/ but not the actual executable.
- -
-Please consult the README -file for additional details.
-
- -
-TAR
-There are two versions of the Tar files: one is a statically-linked version -and the other is the dynamically-linked version. The dynamic version is -smaller (3.7Mb vs 4.3Mb), our goal is to make use of a number of shared -libraries on your system. If you are running FreeBSD 3.2 or newer, the -dynamic package should work for you. If you can't run the dynamic package, -try the static package. -
The installation process for the static Tar files looks scary, but is -actually quite simple. -
-
-Download the distribution files ( -abisuite-0.7.12-FreeBSD_i386_static.tar.gz , 4.3MB).
- -
-Copy the files to a directory writable by you and open the files: - -
   gunzip - C abisuite-0.7.12-FreeBSD_i386_static.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
-... or, if your tar command supports the ' z' flag: -

-Both these commands will create the directory -abisuite-0.7.12-FreeBSD_i386_static -. -
-Change to that directory and become superuser.
- -
-Run the install script: - -
   /install.sh
- -
-By default, this will install AbiWord and supporting files to the -/usr/local/AbiSuite -on -your hard drive. You will be given the opportunity to change this if you -wish.

-You will also be given the option to create links to the executable in -a common -bin -directory. By default, this is -/usr/local/bin -.
