Looks to me like you're compiling with LibXML2 support turned on. Abi
currently only works with expat, and will need a few lines of code change to
xap_Prefs.cpp to make it work with libxml2 again.
So, I suggest either:
1) Rebuild abi against expat
2) Make the fix to make libxml2 support work again. It's probably like 10 LOC
or something silly like that. If you do this, send me your patch so that I can
incorporate it upstream.
Either way, your build can be uploaded to sourceforge.net for public
consumption. None of our developers build on *BSD to the best of my knowledge,
so we don't have any pre-built binaries to distribute. But if you post yours
somewhere with a MD5Sum, I'll grab it an upload it.
