    Hi,

    I am (still) trying to build a .deb package of AbiWord 1.0.4 on Debian
    Woody (3.0r0). I encountered a problem when running 'make distribution'.
    The instructions in 'abi/BUILD.TXT' read like this:

    "...
    [2] End-User Style: just cd into the abi directory and type
          'make distribution ABI_BUILD_VERSION=x.y.z ABI_DIST_TARGET=<fmt>'
          where <fmt> is one or more of 'tgz', 'rpm', 'deb', 'slp', 'pkg',
    'depot'.
          This will create one or more archive files in abi/dist. These
          may then be installed in the normal manner.
    ..."

    However, when I try it, I get a 'no target' error:

    $ make distribution ABI_BUILD_VERSION=1.0.4 ABI_DIST_TARGET=deb
    make: *** No rule to make target `distribution'. Stop.

    But there is a target 'distribution:' near the end of abi/Makefile. Or
    is abi/GNUmakefile relevant on Linux?

    Is 'make distribution" still functional with 1.0.4 on Linux?

    Any help is welcome.

    Martin

    PS: Could it be, my version of make is out of date?:
    $ make --version
    GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
    Built for i386-pc-linux-gnu
