GNU wget for MPE/iX

This port is a prototype; it is totally unsupported but it seems to work (at least for me ;)

I found initial information about GNU wget (and lots of other GNU tools) at the Info Pages of the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies (LNS) at the Cornell University Department of Physics...

Here is a copy of the GNU wget distribution that I picked from one of the GNU mirrors sites...

• wget-1.5.1.tar.gz (~ 387 KB)

Using the texi2html translator I extracted the following docs from the above package...

• wget.html (toc + chapters)
• wg-doc.tar.Z (~ 54 KB)

Porting GNU wget to MPE/iX was fairly easy as it basically uses GNU gcc compiler, which is available on MPE/iX for quite a long time now, thanks to Mark Klein's port. Using my recent prototype of GNU autoconf for MPE/iX it wasn't even neccessary to manually adjust the configure script as advised in Mark Bixby's MPE/iX Porting Guide. Here are the diffs...

• changes to GNU wget for MPE/iX (please take the time to view and enjoy this)

Here is a package of the files that have been added to allow GNU wget build on MPE/iX...

• wg-mpe.tar.Z (~ 102 KB)

And here you can see how to run your own build with above components...

• brief summary or detailed session trace

If you do not want to run your own build, you may download the resulting binaries here...

• wg-bin.tar.Z (~ 256 KB)

And for the totally lazy with reasonable download bandwith... a copy of all the above tar-packs...

• wg-all.tar.Z (~ 1025 KB)

As always, feedback welcome and best-effort help available (but I'm a wget beginner).
