Important note: To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the CVS 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 CVS sources, you'll need to have GNU autoconf, gettext, and texinfo installed on your machine (these do the afore-mentioned automatic generation). The three packages are available from /> and its mirrors (please choose one close to you), listed at . In case you aren't used to running autoconf manually to generate the necessary configure script, a file called Makefile.cvs has been provided, and may be called using `make -f Makefile.cvs'. Once the Makefile has called autoconf to generate the configure script, you can build in the usual fashion. To summarize, once you've checked out wget from the CVS archive (instructions for which can be found on the Development page of the Wget website), the commands you'll execute will be as follows (barring any extra options to `configure' or to the second `make'): cd wget make -f Makefile.cvs ./configure make
