None. GNU make with autoconf and automake. See abi/BUILD.TXT that gives the prerequisite for building it on MacOS X, it explain what to install and how to build it. > In what areas might an experienced programmer, but Abiword newbie, be able > to help? Lot of areas. If you are familiar with ATSUI and Quartz, that would be great. We use Carbon for most of the Mac specific stuff. > Is there a web page that deals with just the MacOS X port? Not. But there is a document in the source tree. See abi/docs/MacPort_Documentation.abw > Who are the Mac OS X people on the list, and is this list the main point of > contact for OS X development? Currently I'm the maintainer of the port. F.J.F. is the XDarwin maintainer (UNIX version for Darwin with X that works on MacOS X too). That is all. This list is the main place to discuss that. Otherwise, we often meet by IRC on irc.gnome.org on the #abiword channel. Hub
