This was pretty sly, to hide all that from us. You thought the dot in front of the file would dupe us? ;-) Now more seriously: try again, putting aside your .wgetrc. Or see whether wget's man page offers an option to temporarily ignore .wgetrc. And thank Greg (I hope I'm not mis-assigning) for mentioning /etc/wgetrc and .wgetrc! Side note: please don't mix your wget problems with your other build problems. This is coufusing the hell of us all. And you don't want to get help from confused people, do you? To the build process itself, I just ventured a look to the Debian package page [1] and some around. Oh boy. A package with > 20 dependencies, with a CMake build infrastructure and all that. You are into something. Not that I am discouraging you to do it, on the contrary. This is free software, and that's the gist of it, after all. But prepare yourself for a long journey. If I were you, I'd download the Debian source package and build that, just to see how a successful build looks like: the Debian infra will take care of installing the build dependencies and all that. Once that succeeds you will have more chops to tackle the big beast. Good luck (and no, I can't help with monster C++/CMake projects). - tomás > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > -- > "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
