+To build Wget, your system must support a Unix-like command-line
+development environment, including the text-processing utilities (sh,
+grep, awk, sed, etc.) and a functional C compiler. On some GNU/Linux
+systems, this means that you will need to install packages such as
+`gcc', `glibc-devel' (or `libc6-dev') and `make'. Most systems come
+with these packages preinstalled, but it doesn't hurt to check. If
+you have successfully compiled other software from source, you
+probably have them all.
+
+In addition to the C development environment, Wget can use a number of
+optional libraries to provide additional features, such as translated
+messages and support for "https" URLs. The "external" dependencies
+include:
+
+ - OpenSSL -- for "https" URLs.
+ - GNU gettext -- for translated messages.
+
+To be usable for building Wget, the listed libraries must be installed
+with their "development" header files. On GNU/Linux systems this
+typically means installing the corredponsing "lib<name>-devel" or
+"lib<name>-dev" package along with the package with "lib<name>".
