Compiling AbiCollab on Linux/Unix
From AbiWiki
To compile the core AbiCollab plugin, you need to pass the --enable-plugins="collab" option when configuring AbiWord, for example:
./configure --enable-plugins="collab"
The core AbiCollab plugin needs the following dependencies to be available:
- libgsf-1 >= 1.12
- libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.0
- boost >= 1.33.1
The core AbiCollab plugin can be enhanced by enabling one or more transport backends (you need at least 1 for the plugin to be useful. The configure script enables all backends by default for which the dependencies are satisfied. The table below shows the dependency requirements for the available backends:
| Transport Backend | Brief Description | Dependencies |
