Hi Giuseppe and anyone, Congratulations on the new release.
1. configure.ac in wget-1.15 has a final copyright year of 2011. Surely that needs updating. 2. Although the generated configure script in the wget-1.15.tar.xz archive has stuff for --with-libssl-prefix (=> LIBSSL_PREFIX), I do not see in configure.ac (or elsewhere). What gives? I am probably just blind. 3. On an x86_64 GNU/Linux system (CentOS 6.5, not that it matters), I ran configure with these options: configure --with-libssl-prefix=/usr/local/openssl --with-ssl=openssl I do have openssl (1.0.1f) in /usr/local/openssl, with the usual include/ and lib/ subdirectories. However, it turns out this still fails, because wget configure still does "checking for libssl" without the necessary -I/usr/local/openssl/include ... /usr/local/openssl/lib/libssl.a ... etc. I could not find any clues in config.log about why the options were missing (wget configure on 32-bit CentOS worked fine), but running configure under sh -vx turned up this: .. additional_libdir=/usr/local/openssl/lib64 .. Well, that directory doesn't exist, nor is it normal for it to exist, at least in my life (compiling and installing openssl from original sources). I see that wget configure is setting acl_libdirstem=lib64 based on the output of $CC -print-search-dirs. I don't know if this is part of autoconf or wget (see item 2 above), but surely this should not deny openssl detection. It seems something still needs to be tweaked. For now, I made a symlink /usr/local/openssl/lib64 -> lib and, happily, the whole build succeeded. Thanks, Karl
