Installing AbiWord on FreeBSD / INTELWelcome 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: A much more detailed version of these instructions is contained in the README
. TGZThe TGZ installation process is very simple.
TARThere 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.
The installation process for the dynamic Tar files (abisuite-0.7.12-FreeBSD_i386_dynamic.tar.gz , 3.7MB) is identical. Simply substitute _ dynamic for _ static in steps 1 and 2 above. If you want to read more about which libraries and versions that the dynamic version uses, please consult the README . |
