Re: problems building wget2, both 2-0.0 AND from the repository

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi,

please check which pkg-config files you have for zlib
  locate zlib.pc

and do
  pkg-config --debug zlib


In case this doesn't help, send me your config.log file.

Regards, Tim

im,

I haven't built wget in some time on this system. I don't recall having 
troubles though.NOW, that is not the case.

zlib does appear to be installed "here" though.

Could wget be looking in /usr/lsd/Linux and NOT in /usr/lib64?

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your earlier reply. Somehow my /usr/lsd tool chain acquired a libz.a 
but NO libz.so. I renamed them to off.* and the wget2 build succeeded.

You can also use ./confgure --without-zlib. No need to change something
on the system level (though I really suggest to build libz.so as well).

I tried to build the original wget from " git clone 
https://git.savannah.gnu.or/git/wget.git wget" but it's failing now. Not the libz 
problem but something different.

Could I get you to take a look at the build log please?

Not sure what you mean with "now". Did it build before ? (I doubt so).

 From the build log:
bootstrap: line 278: autopoint: command not found
bootstrap: Error: 'autopoint' not found
bootstrap: line 278: gperf: command not found
bootstrap: Error: 'gperf' not found

As you can see, building from git requires more packages to be installed
than when building from tarball.

The latest wget tarball is https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz

Hi,

I'm trying to build wget2 from both the gnu ftp site and from the repository and am 
having trouble with "make install". I'm enclosing the build log. Could I get 
you to take a look at the end of the log and let me know what I'm doing wrong please?
