-*** NOTE: as of version 1.12, the building of Wget on Windows using
-*** these supplied Makefiles, is severely broken. HOWEVER, it is
-*** currently possible to build Wget on Windows using the standard
- Unix-y "./configure && make", under MinGW + MSYS, though there are
- some rough edges when you go beyond the basic build.
-
- We expect to support this method for building Wget more fully in
- future releases; the degree to which other Windows build methods
- will be supported is not currently clear, as the cost of their
- maintenance has grown significantly.
-
-
-You can configure the Windows port of Wget by running configure.bat (in
-the main Wget directory). You can run it with no arguments to see the
-list of possible options. Run it with the option corresponding to the
-compiler you intend to use to build Wget and follow the (brief)
-instructions printed on the screen. The instructions bellow are for
-building Wget with Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC); you may need to make
-appropriate substitutions for your compiler and build environment;
-currently wget can be built at least with Visual Studio/.Net, the free
-Borland compiler, and the free mingw environment. The instructions do
-*not* apply to the Cygwin environment, on which Wget is built with the
-procedure described in the INSTALL file in the top-level directory.
-
-To build Wget with MSVC run configure.bat (in the main Wget directory)
-with the argument --msvc, and then run nmake. At a certain point in time
-Wget exposed some compiler bugs in MSVC 5.0; later Wget started to
-expose (at least http.c, retr.c) some other compiler bugs in MSVC 6.0
-SP6 (cl.exe version 12) which could/can be worked around by compiling
-completely without optimization or at least partially (by using
-#pragma optimize("g",on) and "off" around offending functions).
-However, read the rest of this document before continuing.
-
-For MSVC the current default is to build Wget with SSL support. For this
-to work, you will need to have OpenSSL installed. First, get OpenSSL
-(http://www.openssl.org), compile it and install the relevant headers and
-libraries where your compiler can find them; currently this could mean
-(presuming default installation directories for MSVC 6.0) copy (from the
-compiled OpenSSL directory) the whole inc32\openssl directory and its
-contents to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\openssl",
-and from out32dll (in the OpenSSL directory) the two needed libraries
-(libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib) to
-"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib". These locations
-aren't exactly the best but will get you started if you don't know where
-to place these headers and libraries, you should find similar paths for
-later compiler versions. Usually at run-time some OpenSSL
-libraries (currently ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll) will need to be
-available in your environment PATH.
-
-If you don't want to/can't compile Wget with OpenSSL comment SSL related
-lines in windows\Makefile.src; then follow the normal instructions
-(configure.bat and so on).
-
-If you want to build the help file you will need a copy of makeinfo to
-convert wget.texi to rtf and html. I've made a copy available at
-<URL:ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/makeinfo.zip>. This copy of
-makeinfo is from the miktxt 1.10 archive available from ctan. You also
-will need perl 5, one possibility is ActivePerl (currently free) from
-<URL:http://www.activestate.com>; you need to locate the download and
-install instructions for the current version available (since the
-packages and installation instructions change from time to time).
