| 3 | This directory contains a version of the GNU wget program that was written by

| 8 | A couple of very small changes were made to this package by Stefan Boddie
|
|---|
| 9 | ([email protected]). The USE_STDARG preprocessor definition was
|
|---|
| 10 | added to the VC++ makefile as it appeared to need it to compile on either
|
|---|
| 11 | VC++ 4.2 or VC++ 6.0. A change was also made to prevent backslashes from
|
|---|
| 12 | mistakenly being converted to "@5c" on windows.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | 2003/11/27 - [email protected] made a few more small changes to fix
|
|---|
| 15 | h_errno bug preventing code from compiling on latest versions of GCC.
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | 2004/06/30 - [email protected] replaced version 1.5.3 with version 1.9.
|
|---|
| 18 | It compiled as is under Windows XP, using VC++ 6.0, under Linux using GCC 3.2.3
|
|---|
| 19 | and GCC 2.95.3. So I haven't made any changes.
|
|---|
| 20 | Under Windows, I haven't compiled it with openssl, so it doesn't support
|
|---|
| 21 | https://. OpenSSL comes with a warning about it being illegal in some countries
|
|---|
| 22 | to distribute cryptographic technology, so I haven't used it. Look at
|
|---|
| 23 | wget-1.9/windows/README for Windows compiling instructions if you want to add
|
|---|
| 24 | it in.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | 2008/07/03 - [email protected] replaced version 1.9 with version 1.11.4.
|
|---|
| 27 | Version 1.9 didn't compile statically with the new libraries which come with
|
|---|
| 28 | fedora, so upgrading. Had to apply the patch at
|
|---|
| 29 | http://marc.info/?l=wget&m=115131792408685&w=2 to get it to compile under
|
|---|
| 30 | windows(VC++ 6.0), and those changes are in the tar.gz file in the repository.
|
|---|
| 31 | Again, no ssl in windows wget. The packages/configure and packages/Makefile
|
|---|
| 32 | files perform the same operations on wget as before, just the directory name
|
|---|
| 33 | has changed from wget/wget-1.9 to wget/wget-1.11.4.
