Thanks Eric, good to know you're keeping so busy, expected under the
circumstances!
Not a great effort as there should be no to few more wget releases.
Your latest wget release is configured differently for 32bit and 64bit,
most likely due to missing dependencies / development packages. Since
the BUILD_REQUIRES are completely missing it doesn't build at all on the
CI.
I rebuilt with the original cygport updated minimally.
This is one of those packages that advertises minimal dependencies and documents
none AFAICT.
Is there a way of determining desirable, useful, or additional dependencies?
I found cygcares-2.dll was missing(!) from cygwin 32, so reinstalled it, and
libnpth-devel was not installed in either arch, so installed those, added all
the lib...-devel and tools dependencies to BUILD_REQUIRES, and all the relevant
configure --with/out-... options, so now both arches build with only minor
--version output differences.
Is it sufficiently worth while to resolve with a release -2 package, as there
may be no further upstream releases of the package, other than replacement by
wget2?
