Building on SunOS 5.9 (configure says sparc-sun-solaris2.9) using
gcc version 3.3.4 (from package).

abiword fails with:

===> Building for abiword-2.0.14
cd . && \
  CONFIG_HEADERS= CONFIG_LINKS= \
  CONFIG_FILES=GNUmakefile /bin/ksh ./config.status
config.status: creating GNUmakefile

`/usr/local/pkgwork/editors/abiword/work.loonquawl/abiword-2.0.14/popt'
gmake: *** [popt] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Stop.

The configure had:

checking popt.h usability... no
checking popt.h presence... no
checking for popt.h... no
checking for popt in peer directory... yes
...

configuring popt: srcdir=../popt, builddir=../popt

...
  popt:            peer popt

I do have a new work/abiword-2.0.14/popt/Makefile.in but no "Makefile".

The Makefile.common has:
MAKEFILE=               GNUmakefile

It also said (but I don't think it is related):

checking for GNU xgettext... configure: error:
  *** GNU gettext is required. The latest version
  *** is always available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/.


Any clues?
