Important note:
To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the Subversion tree does not
contain automatically-generated files, even when those files are
normally present in the distribution tarballs.
Therefore, if you're building from the sources obtained via
Subversion, 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 Subversion
repository (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.svn
./configure
make
