hi , SSL autodetection (am I correct that is supposed to be the default?) doesn't seem to be working here in mingw, it tells me:
configure: error: --with-ssl=gnutls was given, but GNUTLS is not available. I don't have GNUTLS so I expect it would use openssl. When I explicitly use --with-ssl=openssl that works. pthread lib detected but not included: checking for pthread.h... yes checking for pthread_kill in -lpthread... yes checking for multithread API to use... posix later: gcc -O2 -Wall -o wget.exe cmpt.o connect.o convert.o cookies.o ftp.o css_.o c ss-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 w arc.o utils.o exits.o build_info.o version.o ftp-opie.o mswindows.o openssl.o h ttp-ntlm.o ../lib/libgnu.a -liconv -lintl -leay32 -lz -lws2_32 -lssl32 ../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xa4f1): undefined reference to `__imp__ pthread_mutex_init' ../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xa92e): undefined reference to `__imp__ pthread_mutex_destroy' ../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xb146): undefined reference to `__imp__ pthread_mutex_lock' ../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xb214): undefined reference to `__imp__ pthread_mutex_unlock' ../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xb6fe): undefined reference to `__imp__ pthread_mutex_destroy' ../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xb78a): undefined reference to `__imp__ pthread_mutex_lock' ../lib/libgnu.a(regex.o):regex.c:(.text+0xb7d3): undefined reference to `__imp__ pthread_mutex_unlock' When I add -lpthread to LIBS that works. When wget is compiled using current versions of MinGW there is a problem because it will link to functions that do not exist in earlier versions of the crt, <= Vista usually. I brought that up on their mailing list earlier this month, http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=52796A9F.20905%40users.sourceforge.net&forum_name=mingw-users No fix yet but a workaround would be to ignore ftelli64 and fseeki64 in crt. What is the version scheme? The last alpha build I have from earlier this year before 1.14.96-38327 is 1.14.128-something Excuse the weird formatting and lack of >quoting I can't find a way to do some things in the new Yahoo mail.

If no blocking errors are found, then I will make an official release in the coming weeks (that is, wget 1.15).
