This is tested on Ubuntu 11.10/64 bit.
First checkout the source from the trunk.
If you are a committer,
svn co svn+ssh://<username>@svn.abisource.com/svnroot/abiword/trunk
For others,
svn co http://svn.abisource.com/abiword/trunk abiword
Change to the abiword directory, and execute the below commands.
The commonest build dependencies for AbiWord can be installed by a single command, as below.
sudo apt-get build-dep abiword
Installing gtk+-3.0.
sudo apt-get install gtk+-3.0
Installing RDF.
sudo apt-get install librdf0-dev
You can optionally install Valgrind for Unit testing.
sudo apt-get install valgrind
Configuring using the provided autogen.sh.
sh autogen.sh
Make and make install.
make
Unless changed the location or permissions, make install will require admin privileges to install to the default location.
sudo make install
Link from the lib directory,
cd /lib sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libabiword-2.9.so
Now you should be able to run abiword
abiword
