Wget is intended to work on any reasonably ISO C90-compliant build environment (with appropriate POSIX/SUS interfaces available), so there's no particular reason it shouldn't work with GCC 3.2. It's likely that some preprocessor thing went askew; we'd need more information to go by. I gather, though, from the quote marks, that you're not the one who actually attempted compilation; perhaps you can ask whoever did to send a more detailed description of their trouble? Compiling Wget shouldn't require any libraries beyond the system C libraries. It's usually _useful_ to have the OpenSSL and GNU getttext libraries, but these are not required. > Wget 1.10.2 (with VMS-related changes) does what I need, so I haven't > done much with 1.11[.x] yet.

The biggest changes were probably Content-Disposition support, and my small change to HTTP auth. And I understand that --spider got some important fixes, but I haven't played much with that. - -- Micah J.
