excellent.


I think we should make this the default supported compiler for the 1.11
release if we can confirm that we compile with VC++ Express (which is free
from MS).


i agree. MSVC 14 (AKA Visual Studio 2005's C Compiler) should be the 
default supported compiler for the future Wget releases. fortunately, i 
have been able to setup a build environment w/ MSVC 14 on my laptop so from 
now on i'll be able to help w/ Win32-related problems.



We should also double check on OpenSSL, since MS has now includes
MASM as a free download for VC++ Express users. I'm going to have to spin up
a VM to test the VC++ Express compile - I should be able to do this sometime
this weekend.


does VC++ Express provide also nmake?

 hi to everybody,
 
 i've just released wget 1.11 alpha 1:
 
 ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/pub/gnu/wget/wget-1.11-alpha-1.tar.gz
 
 you're very welcome to try it and report every bug you might

 with this release, the development cicle for 1.11 officially 
 enters the

 following tasks are completed:
 
 1) win32 fixes (setlocale, fork)
 2) last fixes to -r and --spider
 3) update documentation
 4) return error/warning if multiple HTTP headers w/ same name 
 are given
 5) return error/warning if conflicting options are given
 6) fix Saving to: output in case -O is given
 
 unfortunately, this means that all the planned major changes (gnunet 
 support, advanced URL filtering w/ regex, etc...) will have 
 to wait until 
 1.12. however, i think that the many important features and bugfixes 
 recently commited into the trunk more than justify the new, 
 upcoming 1.11 
 release.

The only other issue I have right now is the MakeInfo program doesn't seem
to be working correctly.

I downloaded the latest version from GNU (TextInfo 4.8), but it doesn't seem
to support the --hpj parameter:

So am not able to produce the Help file.  Note that I do remember at one
point in around the 1.6 or 1.8 branch I was able to get this to work.  I
guess that's what I get for

 Hi,
 
 only Travis Loyd, however from what I've seen I don't think 
 he realized we'd
 been talking about visual c, so I think you would be the only 
 candidate.
 Thanks for your offer, we will all be grateful!

Has anyone volunteered for the Win32 native build yet?  
  
I'd be willing to at least attempt the build process, 
  although the last
  build I did was 1.9 (to attempt to work out some ntlm proxy

can always take a look at the bugfixes in the 1.10 branch.  For

 Hello gang, I'm considering building the Windows releases for you.
 
 My initial attempts to build wget resulted in an error when performing
 ./configure:

Sorry about the delay.

Travis, in what environment are you building ? I see configure and bash, I
suppose you are trying to build a cygnus binary. While that one needs to be
tested, too, I was referring to the native Visual C binary without need for
the cygnus runtime.
You'll need a current VC environment, build the openssl libraries (the first
time and whenever there are important changes like security fixes), add
those to the VC environment, configure.bat --msvc, nmake.

Can anybody confirm if the current alpha (or at least late subversion
exports) does build cleanly ? If not, if there are some problems, if it is
the first time you are trying to attempt this, I'd advice to try with the
1.10.1 sources first (since those are known to build cleanly) in order to
straight out your setup, if nobody else does step in I'll try to help you
whenever possible.

2006-06-14 Thread Travis Loyd
Figured out my own problem, perhaps someone might alter this in the
source tree.

The file 'configure.in' has a line as:

dnl
dnl Create output
dnl
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile src/Makefile doc/Makefile util/Makefile
po/Makefile.in tests/Makefile windows/Makefile])

If the line AC_CONFIG_FILES is altered so that it does not wrap around
then everything works in my environment.  I think the problem with my
tools was a \r\n instead of just \n.  But, at the moment can't be sure.

Hopefully this was a helpful note.

i promise we'll seriously talk about merging your VMS changes into wget

you'll be very welcome to convince me about the soundness of your code

 i promise we'll seriously talk about merging your VMS changes into wget
 at the beginning of the 1.12 development cycle. 
 [...]


   That would be nice, as it would have been nice every other time I've
suggested it since Wget 1.9.1 in December 2004.

 you'll be very welcome to convince me about the soundness of your code
 and the need to merge VMS support into wget [...]

   Need?  None at all, if you have no interest in providing any support
for Wget on VMS, and if you have no interest in Wget working well with a
VMS FTP server, and if you have no interest in the miscellaneous bug
fixes I've made along the way.  I simply assumed, as I had done all the
necessary work for VMS support (client and server), and fixed a few bugs
along the way, that you might find it worth the (pretty small) effort to
incorporate my suggested changes.

   On the topic of the soundness of code, let's consider what happens on
a Tru64 system fetching files from a VMS FTP server using the new Wget 
1.11-alpha-1, the original Wget 1.10.2, and my Wget 1.10.2b.
