3To reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the Subversion tree does not
4contain automatically-generated files, even when those files are
5normally present in the distribution tarballs.

7Therefore, if you're building from the sources obtained via
8Subversion, you'll need to have at least GNU Autoconf (2.59 or newer)
9installed on your system. To generate the Info documentation, you
10will need the GNU Texinfo package. Those packages are available from
11<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/<package>/> and its mirrors, listed at
12<http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.
13
14In case you aren't used to running autoconf manually to generate the
15necessary configure script, a script called autogen.sh has been
16provided, and may be invoked using `./autogen.sh'. Once the script
17has completed, the configure script will reside in the current
18directory and you can proceed to build Wget as described in the
19`INSTALL' file.
20
21To summarize, once you've checked out wget from the Subversion
22repository, the commands you'll execute will be as follows (barring
23any extra options to `configure' or to `make'):
24
25 cd wget
26 ./autogen.sh
27 ./configure
28 make
