Important note:
|
|
|
|
To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the CVS tree does not
|
|
contain automatically generated files, even when those are normally
|
|
present in the distribution tarballs. All of these are recreated by
|
|
the build process, except for `configure', which is needed to start
|
|
the build in the first place.
|
|
|
|
To build Wget from the CVS sources, all you need aside from the normal
|
|
C development tools (make, cc) is Autoconf, which you can get from
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html>. Wget does not
|
|
use Automake or Libtool, so you needn't worry about those.
|
|
|
|
For your convenience, Makefile.cvs is a make file containing the
|
|
necessary preparations, which currently amount to calling Autoconf.
|
|
Invoke it with `make -f Makefile.cvs', and after that you're ready to
|
|
build Wget in the normal fashion, e.g. with `./configure' followed by
|
|
`make'.
|
|
|
|
The simplest example of downloading and building Wget from CVS can
|
|
look like this:
|
|
|
|
cvs -d :pserver:... checkout wget
|
|
cd wget
|
|
make -f Makefile.cvs
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
The instructions that explain how to check out Wget from CVS in the
|
|
first place are available at <http://sunsite.dk/wget/> under
|
|
"Development".
