Important note:
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.
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.
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.
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'):
cd wget
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
