3 To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the Subversion tree does not
4 contain automatically-generated files, even when those files are
5 normally present in the distribution tarballs.
7 Therefore, if you're building from the sources obtained via Subversion,
8 you'll need to have at least GNU Autoconf (2.61 or newer) and GNU
9 Automake (1.10 or newer) installed on your system. To generate the Info
10 documentation, you will need the GNU Texinfo package. Those packages are
11 available from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/<package>/> and its mirrors,
12 listed at <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.
14 In case you aren't used to running autotools manually to generate the
15 necessary configure script, a script called autogen.sh has been
16 provided, and may be invoked using `./autogen.sh'. Once the script
17 has completed, the configure script will reside in the current
18 directory and you can proceed to build Wget as described in the
21 To summarize, once you've checked out wget from the Subversion
22 repository, the commands you'll execute will be as follows (barring
23 any extra options to `configure' or to `make'):
