Pu7o Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 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.
