-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 (2.61 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>.
-
-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
+Compiling From Repository Sources
+
+ To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the source code repository
+ does not contain automatically-generated files, even when these are
+ normally present in the distribution tarballs. Therefore, to build GNU
+ Wget from the sources in the repository, you'll need to have one or
+ more of the following (note that gettext, OpenSSL, libidn, libiconv
+ and libpsl are not absolutely required):
+
+ * [20]autoconf (currently, GNU Wget requires version 2.61). This is
+ needed to generate the configure script from configure.in. This is
+ not required when building from a tarball distribution; only when
+ building from repository sources.
+
+ * [21]automake (currently, GNU Wget requires version 1.10.1). This is
+ needed for generating the Makefile.in templates that the configure
+ script uses to generate the Makefiles. As with autoconf, it is not
+ required when building from a tarball distribution; only when
+ building from repository sources.
+
+ * [22]flex is needed to generate the CSS-parsing code.
+
+ * [23]Perl, if you wish to generate the wget(1) manpage, or run the
+ tests in the tests/ sub directory. Tarball distributions include an
+ already-generated wget.1 manual. The command "make check" runs the
+ test suite written in perl. To execute all the tests you need
+ [24]libwww-perl perl library. If "perl -MCPAN -e 'install
+ Bundle::LWP'" fails then you most likely don't have cpan module
+ installed. First download [25]CPAN and [26]install it. Then execute
+ "perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'". Now "make check" should
+ pass most of the tests in the test suite.
+
+ * [27]texinfo in order to generate Info, PostScript and/or HTML
+ documentation. You don't need texinfo in order to generate the
+ wget(1) manpage; however, note that the manpage does not include
+ the full documentation. Tarball distributions include the
+ already-generated documentation in these formats.
+
+ * [28]gettext, if you wish to compile with NLS (Native Language
+ Support), which is enabled by default. If you do not have gettext,
+ you can compile without it by specifying --disable-nls to the
+ ./configure script. This is true regardless of where you obtained
+ the source you're building. NOTE: if you get errors about
+ AM_GNU_GETTEXT and/or AM_INTL_SUBDIR, you probably have a buggy
+ version of GNU m4. Upgrade to the latest version. You may also need
+ to export M4=<new m4 path>, to be sure that autoconf/automake use
+ it instead of the old one.
+
+ * [29]OpenSSL to handle encrypted web sessions. You almost certainly
+ want this. It is not enough to have the library installed; you need
+ to have the header files available to compile against as well. For
+ GNU/Linux systems, this usually means installing a "developer"
+ package for openssl (for example, [30]Debian systems require
+ installation of the libssl-dev package). Alternatively, you can
+ compile GNU Wget against the [31]GNUTLS library instead, by
+ specifying --with-ssl=gnutls to the ./configure script; however,
+ building against GNUTLS is currently experimental, and not
+ officially supported. If you have OpenSSL and its development
+ headers installed, but don't want to build Wget with it, specify
+ --without-ssl to the ./configure script.
+
+ * [32]libidn is required for IDN/IRI support (non-ASCII characters
+ within what would otherwise be URLs).
+
+ * [33]libiconv is required on non-GNU systems, for IDN/IRI support.
+ On GNU systems, the functionality provided by libiconv is already
+ present in the system libraries.
+
+ * [34]git is used to fetch gnulib files trough the bootstrap.sh script.
+
+ * [35]libpsl is required for using a public suffix list to check for valid
+ cookie domains.
+
+ For those who might be confused as to what to do once they check out
+ the source code, considering configure and Makefile do not yet exist at
+ that point, a shell script called bootstrap.sh has been provided. After
+ calling ./bootstrap.sh you're ready to build GNU Wget in the normal
+ fashion, with ./configure and make.
+
+ So, to sum up, after checking out the source code as described above,
+ you may proceed as follows:
+ 1. Change to the topmost GNU Wget directory:
+ $ cd wget # assumes you've cloned a repository to "./wget"
+ 2. Generate all the automatically-generated files required prior to
+ configuring the package:
+ $ ./bootstrap.sh
+ 3. Configure the package and compile it:
+ $ ./configure [some_parameters]
+ $ make
+ 4. Hack, compile, test, hack, compile, test...
+ $ src/wget --version
+ GNU Wget 1.12-devel (9cb2563197bc)
