Sorry we are just a bunch of volenteers with our own personal workstations
at our disposal. We rely on other volenteers to provide us with binaries
for workstations we don't have. If a volenteer provides us a patch to fix
a problem with a distro we're happy to consider it.
Those other OS's are supported by other volenteers. They do the work of
getting abi to work on their OS.
I can't help you. I don't run slackware. If there are any slackware
users out there who know how to fix Abi for the disto please make
yourselves known.
Maybe you should email Slackware and ask them to package Abi 0.7.12.
for its next release.
Maybe they'll do it anyway.
Martin
