Important note:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the CVS tree does not
|
2001-01-06 05:15:58 -05:00
|
|
|
contain automatically-generated files, even when those files are
|
|
|
|
|
normally present in the distribution tarballs.

Therefore, if you're building from the CVS sources, you'll need to
|
|
|
|
|
have GNU autoconf, gettext, and texinfo installed on your machine
|
|
|
|
|
(these do the afore-mentioned automatic generation). The three
|
|
|
|
|
packages are available from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/<package>/> and
|
|
|
|
|
its mirrors (please choose one close to you), listed at
|
|
|
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.

|
In case you aren't used to running autoconf manually to generate the
|
|
|
|
|
necessary configure script, a file called Makefile.cvs has been
|
|
|
|
|
provided, and may be called using `make -f Makefile.cvs'. Once the
|
|
|
|
|
Makefile has called autoconf to generate the configure script, you can
|
|
|
|
|
build in the usual fashion.

To summarize, once you've checked out wget from the CVS archive
|
|
|
|
|
(instructions for which can be found on the Development page of the
|
|
|
|
|
Wget website), the commands you'll execute will be as follows (barring
|
|
|
|
|
any extra options to `configure' or to the second `make'):

|
|
cd wget
|
|
|
|
|
make -f Makefile.cvs
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
