User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/wget
Install Wget by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../wget-1.14-texi2pod-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-ssl=openssl && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
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 work with OpenSSL-1.0.1e. It can be omitted if GnuTLS-3.2.4 is found or the HTTPS protocol is
not needed.
/etc/wgetrc
and ~/.wgetrc
If you have installed the Certificate Authority
Certificates and you want Wget to use them, as the root
user:
echo ca-directory=/etc/ssl/certs >> /etc/wgetrc
