[MacPorts] #17012: Request newer build of abiword
#17012: Request newer build of abiword ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: mike@flyn.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ A Mac OS X native version of Abiword has not been released since 2.4.5. However, GTK now has a quartz backend that does not require X11. I'd like to propose that the abiword package be updated to 2.6 and the Mac OS X native version be abandoned. People who want to avoid X11 can build the GTK version against GTK/Quartz. There are a few issues in the abiword codebase that are keeping me from building abiword 2.6 against GTK/Quartz. See [http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11793 Abisource bug #11793]. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17012> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Maybe someone else can figure out what is needed. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17012#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

There are a few compile issues left (Mac OS X 10.4), but it is clear that the code is getting a lot of attention. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17012#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Since (from your comments) that the code seems to be unstable still perhaps a new abiword-devel port would be appropriate. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17012#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

However, there is one issue that breaks the build of Snow Leopard.

Afaict the application works as expected (though I haven't tested it beyond launching and using some basic text editing functions). I'd be interested in a GTK+ variant for the port, based on GTK+/X11 (and optionally, if supported upstream, on GTK+/Quartz). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/17012#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
