To build Wget with VC++ run configure.bat (in the main wget directory),
|
|
|
|
|
and then run nmake. At a certain point in time wget exposed some
|
|
|
|
|
compiler bugs in VC++ 5.0; VC++ 6.0 sp 5 is known to be safe. However
|
|
|
|
|
read the rest of this document before continuing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For VC++ the current default is to configure wget with ssl support;
|
|
|
|
|
first get openssl (http://www.openssl.org), compile it and install
|
|
|
|
|
relevant headers and libraries where your compiler can find them;
|
|
|
|
|
currently this could mean (presuming default installation directories)
|
|
|
|
|
copy (from the compiled openssl dirctory) the whole inc32/openssl
|
|
|
|
|
directory and its contents to
|
|
|
|
|
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\openssl",
|
|
|
|
|
and from out32dll (in the openssl directory) the two needed libraries
|
|
|
|
|
(libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib) to
|
|
|
|
|
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib".
|
|
|
|
|
These locations aren't exactly the best but will get you started if you
|
|
|
|
|
don't know where to place these headers and libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
Usually at runtime some openssl libraries (currently ssleay32.dll and
|
|
|
|
|
libeay32.dll) will need to be available in your environment PATH.

If you want to build the help file you will need a copy of makeinfo to
|
|
|
|
|
convert wget.texi to rtf and html. I've made a copy available at
|
|
|
|
|
<URL:ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/makeinfo.zip>. This copy of
|
|
|
|
|
makeinfo is from the miktxt 1.10 archive available from ctan. You also
|
|
|
|
|
will need perl 5, one possibility is Activeperl (currently free) from
|
|
|
|
|
<URL:http://www.activestate.com>; you need to locate the download and
|
|
|
|
|
install instructions for the current version available (since the
|
|
|
|
|
packages and installation instructions change from time to time).

|
If you don't want/can't to compile wget with openssl comment the SSL
|
|
|
|
|
related lines in windows\Makefile.src; then follow the normal
|
|
|
|
|
instructions (configure.bat and so on).
