GnuTLS-3.8.0, HTTP-Daemon-6.15 (for the test suite), IO-Socket-SSL-2.081 (for the test suite), libidn2-2.3.4, libpsl-0.21.2, PCRE-8.45 or pcre2-10.42, and Valgrind-3.20.0 (for the test suite)
User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/wget
Install Wget by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-ssl=openssl && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Some tests may fail when Valgrind tests are enabled.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--sysconfdir=/etc
: This
relocates the configuration file from /usr/etc
to /etc
.
--with-ssl=openssl
: This
allows the program to use openssl instead of GnuTLS-3.8.0.
--enable-valgrind-tests
: This allows
the tests to be run under valgrind.
