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 /> and its mirrors, listed at . 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
