Well, I just spent the last 3 hours porting AbiWord. It was damn hard, but it's working, and you can get it here.

In fact, I didn't have to change a single line of code, but AbiWord's build system is so badly built that it was almost impossible to get everything right.

Enjoy it, I sure hope it was worth all this damn trouble. Well, at least you can now use a native word processor without X11.

good job. I tried this a while back and gave up. kudos.

many thanks, worked perfectly

Congrats on your port.

Very usefull. Thank you.

very fast wow!

Thank you. it's impressive !!

Downloading now... Looks very good as far as I can tell from the website: http://www.abisource.com

EDIT: Wow, this app is very good indeed! Liking it very much! Infact, I think this will replace my Microsoft Office Word!

I love free applications...

Thnq very much, it is indeed a great app and an excellent port.

wow, extremely fast loading. i was using abiword but it loaded very slowly and had weird icons colors =.= now it looks great too.

thanks for porting it =D

Thanks for the port! Abiword used to take like 2 minutes to load now it loads in a couple of seconds!

Here are some Before and after Screenshots!

Before! After!

Once again, thank you very much!

and that's a wrap folks. I officially have no more PPC apps laying around on the Hackintosh! AbiWord was the last one I was using.

Muchos Thank Yous.

3 hours is a bit much, especially when compared to drag/drop installations.

Nice port~

Sweet i will pull it when i get out of work.thanks

Great as always Pu7o!!!

The OpenDocument importer isn't in this port, any chance of getting that working?

file abiword-2.4.4-intelmac is corrupt
fix file plz

the only drawback is the compatiblity...some of my word files cannot be perfectly read.

Oh really? Then how come all the posters before you managed to download it and run it properly?

very nice, appreciate you work.

not sure if i will stop using pages tho.

still waiting for crossover so i can run office 2007 (ill be waiting a while)

anyway, great work

Good work.This is the only fast, and free word processor running on osx86.
I think Mellel is the greatest, and its also unibin now, but unfortunatly shareware.

i don`t know
when i download i can`t ungzip it with any program that i have
winrar, stuffit say "file is corrupt"
BOMArchiveHelper can`t open
how can i open it?

Wow...loads in like 3 seconds literally. Thank you very much.

Anyone have a mirror? It seems down....

Mmm just when posting it returns apparently...
GREAT!

Thanks

Pu7o:

I was wondering if it is possible to get the newest version (2.4.6) compiled? That would be great, and thanks a lot for this one, is much better than the PCC version posted at abisource.

It is possible to add custom dictionary?

Hi Pu7o:

Thank you so much for making this port.

I was using NeoOffice 2.1 Intel but that program is much larger (more like replacement for Microsoft Office) and took much longer to load. AbiWord Universal loads in couple seconds (!) I've used AbiWord in Windows and Linux and liked those versions.

I'm making this my default Application for opening and editing Microsoft Word documents.

Here is a mirror for Abiword 2.4.4 (intel):

The newest version of Abiword is 2.6.4 ...
Hopefully there will be a Mac (intel or UB) version, too.

Please rebuild abiWord (latest version).
I've tried but without success (http://www.abisource.com/~fjf/)
