wget - web site mirroring software

This directory contains a version of the GNU wget program that was written by
Hrvoje Niksic and others and distributed under the GNU General Public Licence

The GNU wget homepage is http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/~prikryl/wget.html

1) A couple of very small changes were made to this package by Stefan Boddie
(sjboddie@cs.waikato.ac.nz). The USE_STDARG preprocessor definition was
added to the VC++ makefile as it appeared to need it to compile on either
VC++ 4.2 or VC++ 6.0. A change was also made to prevent backslashes from
mistakenly being converted to "@5c" on windows.

2) 2003/11/27 - sjboddie@cs.waikato.ac.nz made a few more small changes to fix
h_errno bug preventing code from compiling on latest versions of GCC.

3) 2004/06/30 - kjdon@cs.waikato.ac.nz replaced version 1.5.3 with version 1.9.
It compiled as is under Windows XP, using VC++ 6.0, under Linux using GCC 3.2.3
and GCC 2.95.3. So I haven't made any changes. 
Under Windows, I haven't compiled it with openssl, so it doesn't support
https://. OpenSSL comes with a warning about it being illegal in some countries
to distribute cryptographic technology, so I haven't used it. Look at
wget-1.9/windows/README for Windows compiling instructions if you want to add
it in.

4) 2008/07/03 - oranfry@cs.waikato.ac.nz replaced version 1.9 with version 1.11.4.
Version 1.9 didn't compile statically with the new libraries which come with
fedora, so upgrading. Had to apply the patch at
http://marc.info/?l=wget&m=115131792408685&w=2 to get it to compile under
windows(VC++ 6.0), and those changes are in the tar.gz file in the repository.
Again, no ssl in windows wget. The packages/configure and packages/Makefile
files perform the same operations on wget as before, just the directory name
has changed from wget/wget-1.9 to wget/wget-1.11.4.


5) 2013/01/09 - davidb@cs.waikato.ac.nz Make minor change to src/Makefile.in so the code compiles under minGW cross-compiler running on Linux
diff -r wget-1.13.4/src/Makefile.in wget-1.13.4.MINGW/src/Makefile.in

>   CFLAGS += -DIN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL=IN6_ADDR_EQUAL
>   LIBS += -lws2_32
> endif

6) 2013/01/29 - davidb@cs.waikato.ac.nz added some #ifdef __ANDROID__ blocks into src/util.c to cope with the fact that this OS lacks localeconv()

diff wget-1.13.4-orig/src/utils.c wget-1.13.4-gs/src/utils.c

>       cached_grouping = "\x03";
> #else

> #endif

7) 2014/10/13 - ak19
Moved to wget version 1.15. 
Only the changes numbered 5 and 6 above have been ported into it, following Dr Bainbridge's instructions, as there were both changes made to the previous wget version Greenstone used (1.13.4).
The wget tar file name (wget-1.15-gs) now indicates the version number and that it has been modified by Greenstone, so the Makefile and configure file in build-src/packages/ have been updated to reflect this.
