Just to make sure I could build and run with something before I tried on the BeOS, and to check out the current state of things, I built AbiWord on SlackWare Linux, then did a "make clean", tarred up my sources and transferred them to my BeOS partition. First thing I got was a strange build problem because I didn't have sys/mman.h, which is required for mmap support. But BeOS doesn't have mmap support - they want to add it, but haven't yet. The problem turned out to be that "make clean" doesn't delete such files as config.cache; I was running with the config.h files from Linux, which DOES have mmap. To solve the problem, do a "make realclean" before transferring up the sources. Helpfully, BeOS 5 now has a driver for Linux ext2 partitions built in so you don't have to copy to a DOS partition. Well, the BeOS build has some errors, but they appear to have a finite number. Now I'll go fix them for you. I'm asking around among my BeOS developer frieds for other folks to contribute to AbiWord.
