Important note:
Compiling From Repository Sources
To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the source repository does not
contain automatically-generated files, even when those files are
normally present in the distribution tarballs.
To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the source code repository
does not contain automatically-generated files, even when these are
normally present in the distribution tarballs. Therefore, to build GNU
Wget from the sources in the repository, you'll need to have one or
more of the following (note that gettext, OpenSSL, libidn and libiconv
are not absolutely required):
Therefore, if you're building from the sources obtained from the source
repository, you'll need to have at least GNU Autoconf (2.61 or newer)
and GNU Automake (1.10 or newer) installed on your system. To generate
the Info documentation, you will need the GNU Texinfo package. Those
packages are available from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/<package>/> and
its mirrors, listed at <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>. Generating
the wget.1 manpage, and running some tests, requires Perl.
* [20]autoconf (currently, GNU Wget requires version 2.61). This is
needed to generate the configure script from configure.in. This is
not required when building from a tarball distribution; only when
building from repository sources.
In case you aren't used to running autotools manually to generate the
necessary configure script, a script called autogen.sh has been
provided, and may be invoked using `./autogen.sh'. Once the script
has completed, the configure script will reside in the current
directory and you can proceed to build Wget as described in the
`INSTALL' file.
* [21]automake (currently, GNU Wget requires version 1.10.1). This is
needed for generating the Makefile.in templates that the configure
script uses to generate the Makefiles. As with autoconf, it is not
required when building from a tarball distribution; only when
building from repository sources.
To summarize, once you've checked out wget from the Subversion
repository, the commands you'll execute will be as follows (barring
any extra options to `configure' or to `make'):
* [22]flex is needed to generate the CSS-parsing code.
cd wget
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
* [23]Perl, if you wish to generate the wget(1) manpage, or run the
tests in the tests/ sub directory. Tarball distributions include an
already-generated wget.1 manual. The command "make check" runs the
test suite written in perl. To execute all the tests you need
[24]libwww-perl perl library. If "perl -MCPAN -e 'install
Bundle::LWP'" fails then you most likely don't have cpan module
installed. First download [25]CPAN and [26]install it. Then execute
"perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'". Now "make check" should
pass most of the tests in the test suite.
* [27]texinfo in order to generate Info, PostScript and/or HTML
documentation. You don't need texinfo in order to generate the
wget(1) manpage; however, note that the manpage does not include
the full documentation. Tarball distributions include the
already-generated documentation in these formats.
* [28]gettext, if you wish to compile with NLS (Native Language
Support), which is enabled by default. If you do not have gettext,
you can compile without it by specifying --disable-nls to the
./configure script. This is true regardless of where you obtained
the source you're building. NOTE: if you get errors about
AM_GNU_GETTEXT and/or AM_INTL_SUBDIR, you probably have a buggy
version of GNU m4. Upgrade to the latest version. You may also need
to export M4=<new m4 path>, to be sure that autoconf/automake use
it instead of the old one.
* [29]OpenSSL to handle encrypted web sessions. You almost certainly
want this. It is not enough to have the library installed; you need
to have the header files available to compile against as well. For
GNU/Linux systems, this usually means installing a "developer"
package for openssl (for example, [30]Debian systems require
installation of the libssl-dev package). Alternatively, you can
compile GNU Wget against the [31]GNUTLS library instead, by
specifying --with-ssl=gnutls to the ./configure script; however,
building against GNUTLS is currently experimental, and not
officially supported. If you have OpenSSL and its development
headers installed, but don't want to build Wget with it, specify
--without-ssl to the ./configure script.
* [32]libidn is required for IDN/IRI support (non-ASCII characters
within what would otherwise be URLs).
* [33]libiconv is required on non-GNU systems, for IDN/IRI support.
On GNU systems, the functionality provided by libiconv is already
present in the system libraries.
For those who might be confused as to what to do once they check out
the source code, considering configure and Makefile do not yet exist at
that point, a shell script called autogen.sh has been provided. After
calling ./autogen.sh you're ready to build GNU Wget in the normal
fashion, with ./configure and make.
So, to sum up, after checking out the source code as described above,
you may proceed as follows:
1. Change to the topmost GNU Wget directory:
$ cd wget # assumes you've cloned a repository to "./wget"
2. Generate all the automatically-generated files required prior to
configuring the package:
$ ./autogen.sh
3. Configure the package and compile it:
$ ./configure [some_parameters]
$ make
4. Hack, compile, test, hack, compile, test...
$ src/wget --version
