    I haven't built the gtk2 version on OSX in ages, mostly because of the
    hassle of freetype/fontconfig/Xft2 - I wish Apple would hurry up and
    release XFree86 4.3 - I know you can get this from other sources (e.g.,
    XDarwin, I think) but I prefer to use what Apple gives for the simple
    reason that that is what most end-users will be wanting.

    I do have a 44MB tar-ball which, I think, contains all the required
    dependencies for building the gtk2 version of AbiWord-2.0 which I can
    make available to you if you wish.

    The Cocoa version should be built using Project Builder. Hub likes to
    use fink for some libraries (e.g., libiconv) - if you're not a fink
    user, and if you know your way around Project Builder, then instead you
    can try building against my AbiCocoaDep framework (available for
    download from http://www.crazy-wormhole.com/).
