Unfortunately, I left my Nokia charger at my other desk (other desk being a good hour+ drive away) so I haven't been able to test this outside of Scratchbox.
Should be able to open Word files, although I don't have any handy to test with (yay linux-only laptop!)
NOTE: I have NO idea what the actual dependencies are. Since I was able to compile, build, and run it in scratchbox it's reasonable to assume that you can find them in the various repositories.
I debated not posting this until I had time to test it, but I realized that certain very vocal forum members *cough* have been waiting long enough already =)
Just one question. I'm not that familiar with dpkg, so how do I uninstall (in the unlikely event, etc...)? Do I have to write down the names of all 5 files, or can I just go dpkg -P abiword?
This is a (reasonably) naive build from source. No attempt whatsoever was made at optimization, and I never quite got around to using OS2005 Abiword --- I don't know what to expect.
You'll have to dpkg -r each package individually. That said, future releases from me should upgrade without any trouble.
