Help compiling Wget on MachTen

[Robin B. Lake]

Compiling wget on a Mac G3, OS 8.6, MachTen 4.1.1.

After converting the un-tarred files from Mac to UNIX, and running
./configure, typing make yields the following:

root@G3# make
echo timestamp  stamp-h.in
cd src  make CC='gcc' CPPFLAGS='' DEFS='-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSYSTEM_WGETRC=\/usr
/local/etc/wgetr
c\ -DLOCALEDIR=\/usr/local/share/locale\' CFLAGS='-O2 -Wall -Wno-implicit' LD
FLAGS='' LIBS='-
lintl ' prefix='/usr/local' exec_prefix='/usr/local' bindir='/usr/local/bin' inf
odir='/usr/local
/info' mandir='/usr/local/man' manext='1'
make[1]: Entering directory `//working/wget/src'
Makefile:2: warning: NUL character seen; rest of line ignored
Makefile:3: warning: NUL character seen; rest of line ignored
Makefile:4: warning: NUL character seen; rest of line ignored
Makefile:5: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `//working/wget/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2

Any clues?

Thanks,

Did you use Stuffit Expander or some other Mac program to do your un-tar-ing?
If so, that's probably the root of your problem. I suggest you download the
tar file again and un-tar it using the MachTen tar command (I presume it has
one; if it doesn't download GNU tar) using the MachTen command line.

You'd probably get better help if you asked on the MachTen UseNet group or
some MachTen web forum...
