Hi... I've been pulling my hair trying to build wget 1.7 on cygwin...
This is the first time I attempt to compile ANYTHING on cygwin, so maybe perhaps someone will give me some clues... First, I fire Cygwin Bash shell. Second, I "gzip -d wget17.tar.gz" Third, I "tar xvf wget17.tar" So far, so good. But then why does "make" or "make install" fail? Why does cygwin refuse to execute "install-sh". Undisclosed@WINBOX d:/work/wget-1.7 $ make Makefile:30: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Sto p. I also tried to run "configure.bat" but it tells me to run NMAKE. I try to run NMAKE and find out it seems I don't have it!. (And I did a FULL Cygwin install that took several hours fetching stuff with my DSL link!, I thought I'd have everything needed to build anything I want, by now...). I'm sure someone has "been there", pulling your hair for the first time, like me. Am I supposed to use a different (better?) environment than cygwin ? I thought that building the latest wget with cygwin would be a "fire and forget" operation... :-/ Regards Fernando
