4. KNOWN ISSUES
=======================================
abixcode_macports allow building AbiWord
using Xcode, for development purpose.
abixcode_macports is NOT the official
build system nor the one used to make the
binaries.

Abixcode does not build the plugins yet.

Source files must use UTF-8 encoding, and
be referenced using a relative path. Frameworks
and libraries must have an absolute path.
If they are not part of the system standard
distro (10.6), they must be in the
/opt/local/ prefix.
