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 at least GNU Autoconf (2.59 or newer) installed on your system. To generate the Info documentation, you will need the GNU Texinfo package. Those packages are available from /> and its mirrors, listed at . In case you aren't used to running autoconf 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 in the usual fashion. 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
