Okay heres the process I figured out, works on my Mandrake 8.0 SMP under
Enlightenment.
Only use minimal libraries fron CVS: abi, abidistfiles, libiconv,
psiconv, unixfonts and wv. Rename expat, zlib, and libpng to something
else relzted like _expat...
I use glibc-devel (which gives you iconv.h), expat-devel, libpng2, and
zlib1-devel from the Makdrake disks. Use the software manager to
install them (I am assuming that you have both disks).
Do a make realclean from within abi/ and the re-run ./autogen.sh, and
./configure I believe configure will show expat and libpng or zlib from
system libraries, I don't remember which.
Other than that, follow the instructions in BUILD, they tell where the
executable files will be located on a successful build. I can make abi,
but actually getting it to run directly like BUILD says is still beyond
me, from what I understand there is some preference file that is
missing, you'll have to consult the higher ups for that info.
Tell me how it goes,
