Building WGET on OS/2
Has anyone on the list ever built WGET on OS/2? I know there already are OS/2 ports of WGET available, but I'd like to build it for my own environment. I've done this in the past but can't remember exactly what steps I went through or which version. -- John
Using wildcards through proxy server
Can anyone confirm that WGET allows the use of wildcards trhough a proxy server? It doesn't seem to work here. -- John
Problem building WGET
When I attempt to build WGET, configure stops with the error msg:- cannot open /po/POTFILES.in: No such file or directory It looks as though srcdir is getting set to NULL. Why should that happen? -- John
Using wildcards through a proxy server
Should the use of wildcards work when running through a proxy server? I spent ages trying to get something like this working:- wget ftp://abc.org/pub/*.zip only to find that it works fine when directly connected to the internet, but not via a proxy. Retrieving individual files works OK though. Have I overlooked some option when using wildcards through a proxy? -- John

WGET 1.7.1 on OS/2
I've just managed to build WGET 1.7.1 on OS/2 by changing src/Makefile:- o = .o to o = .obj then running Autoconf, configure and Make. Maybe Makefile.in needs to be changed so that it includes OBJEXT... I'm not very familiar with Makefile.in, but could the appropriate change be made so that the OS/2 version builds straight out of the box? -- John

Building WGET
I tried building the the standard WGET v1.7 on OS/2 using Autoconf (2.50), Configure and Make but ended up with this error:- checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... no checking for ld used by GCC... C:/EMX/BIN/ld.exe checking if the linker (C:/EMX/BIN/ld.exe) is GNU ld... no checking for BSD-compatible nm... c:/emx/bin/nm -B checking whether ln -s works... no, using ln not updating unwritable cache /dev/null ltconfig.: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' Try `ltconfig. --help' for more information. configure.: error: libtool configure failed Can anyone explain this? I have never come aross ltconfig before and don't what it is, and didn't use '--no-verify' either since I don't know what that is. -- John
