Yes, this is a bug in Makefile system of wget 1.7 . The current CVS
version of wget (see http://sunsite.dk/wget/) shall work properly, so
you may expect that wget 1.7.1 will be OK.

Thanks for the patch anyway.

build outside of source dir breaks installation of wget.1

[Mike Castle]

I try to build all autoconfed packages outside of the source directory.
(It is suggested that they allow this type of build in the GNU Coding
Standards.)

The generated man page, wget.1, ends up in the build directory, but install
looks for it in srcdir:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ../../wget-1.7/doc/wget.1 /usr/man/man1/wget.1
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `../../wget-1.7/doc/wget.1': No such file or
directory

nexus@thune[10:50pm]/usr/src/wget(720) find . -name wget.1
./wget-1.7-build/doc/wget.1

The following patch seems to work.
