It failed to rebuild against the new link-grammar when someone tried:

Makefile:575: recipe for target 'LinkGrammarWrap.lo' failed

upstream abiword seems pretty dead, but we should probably report the bug there. This blocks compose of Xfce, LXDE, SoaS and Games live images, so proposing as a freeze exception issue for F21 Alpha.

link-grammar is kept in SVN, its API documentation is kind of a joke, and so far as I can tell, there is absolutely no 4.x to 5.x migration guide of any kind. This makes me a sad panda.

It seems sentence_get_nth_word() and sentence_nth_word_has_disjunction() disappeared between 4.x and 5.x, but the link-grammar folks really don't seem to want to make it easy for anyone to know why or how they should update their code...

looks like Jon's patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1106100#c7 is good here.

Sorry Adam,  The API calls were marked deprecated 5 years ago; the API documentation for what to do with them has long ago vanished into the dust. 

The patch reported at   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1106100#c7 is wildly incorrect and will almost surely lead to asserts, segfaults or memory corruption.  A description of what should be done is provided in comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1106100#c18

The last version 4.8.6 from Feb 2014 (only 4 months ago!) still supports these deprecated calls.  Given that version 5.x is still changing very rapidly, and is rather unstable, I'd strongly suggest using 4.8.6 for a while.

abiword.x86_64-3.0.0-10.fc21 allows my local build to proceed.

Here's patch 1/2 that I'm sending upstream

Here's patch 2/2.  Neither this nor the previous patch were compiled or tested (I don't have the facilities to do this), but as link-grammar maintainer, I can certify that that they are the correct update for the existing code.

Arghhhhh! stupid me, above #endif brackets the wrong thing and introduces a mem leak. It should be this:

> +#endif // DEAD_DEBUG_CODE

We now have a completed abiword build in Rawhide, so we can close this bug. Any issues with the code can be covered separately, this bug was for the FTBFS/dependency issues.
