Hello Karl, thanks to have reported it. It looks like a very ugly one, I think it depends from last change:
revno: 2517 committer: Giuseppe Scrivano <gscriv...@gnu.org> branch nick: wget timestamp: Fri 2011-08-05 21:36:08 +0200 message: gnutls: do not use a deprecated function. I'll rollback to the deprecated function when `gnutls_priority_set_direct' is not available. I will amend your comments into the NEWS file and configure --help. I think it is too late now to replace packages, and to avoid synchronization problems with mirrors, I'll go for 1.13.1. I had the feeling that 1.13 wasn't going to be released :-) Thanks, Giuseppe k...@freefriends.org (Karl Berry) writes: > My initial build of wget failed due to gnutls version problems. > configure said: > .. > checking for main in -lgnutls... yes > configure: compiling in support for SSL via GnuTLS > > But then the link failed with: > gcc -O2 -Wall -o wget cmpt.o connect.o convert.o cookies.o ftp.o css.o > css-url.o ftp-basic.o ftp-ls.o hash.o host.o html-parse.o html-url.o > http.o init.o log.o main.o netrc.o progress.o ptimer.o recur.o res.o > retr.o spider.o url.o utils.o exits.o build_info.o iri.o version.o > ftp-opie.o gnutls.o ../lib/libgnu.a -lgnutls -lgcrypt -lgpg-error -lz > -lidn -lrt > gnutls.o: In function `ssl_connect_wget': > gnutls.c:(.text+0x4b0): undefined reference to `gnutls_priority_set_direct' > gnutls.c:(.text+0x528): undefined reference to `gnutls_priority_set_direct' > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > > Evidently configure should check for gnutls_priority_set_direct also. > And if it fails, hopefully it will fall back to openssl. > (This was on CentOS 5.6, but presumably that doesn't especially matter.) > > Related, there used to be an option --with-libssl-prefix.
