GNU Wget2 - Introduction

GNU Wget2 is the successor of GNU Wget, a file and recursive website downloader.

Designed and written from scratch it wraps around libwget, that provides the basic functions needed by a web client.

Wget2 works multi-threaded and uses many features to allow fast operation.

In many cases Wget2 downloads much faster than Wget1.x due to HTTP2, HTTP compression, parallel connections and use of If-Modified-Since HTTP header.

GNU Wget2 is licensed under GPLv3+.

Libwget is licensed under LGPLv3+.

Build Requirements

The following packages are needed to build the software

autotools (autoconf, autogen, automake, autopoint, libtool) python (recommended for faster bootstrap) rsync tar makeinfo (part of texinfo) pkg-config >= 0.28 (recommended) doxygen (for creating the documentation) pandoc (for creating the wget2 man page) gettext >= 0.18.2 libiconv (needed for IRI and IDN support) libz >= 1.2.3 (the distribution may call the package zlib*, eg. zlib1g on Debian) liblzma >= 5.1.1alpha (optional, if you want HTTP lzma decompression) libbz2 >= 1.0.6 (optional, if you want HTTP bzip2 decompression) libbrotlidec/libbrotli >= 1.0.0 (optional, if you want HTTP brotli decompression) libzstd >= 1.3.0 (optional, if you want HTTP zstd decompression) libgnutls (3.3, 3.5 or 3.6) libidn2 >= 0.14 (libidn >= 1.25 if you don't have libidn2) flex >= 2.5.35 libpsl >= 0.5.0 libnghttp2 >= 1.3.0 (optional, if you want HTTP/2 support) libmicrohttpd >= 0.9.51 (optional, if you want to run the test suite) lzip (optional, if you want to build distribution tarballs) lcov (optional, for coverage reports) libgpgme >= 0.4.2 (optional, for automatic signature verification) libpcre | libpcre2 (optional, for filtering by PCRE|PCRE2 regex) libhsts (optional, to support HSTS preload lists)

The versions are recommended, but older versions may also work.

Building from git

Download project and prepare sources with

git clone https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2.git cd wget2 ./bootstrap # on shell failure try 'bash ./bootstrap'

Build Wget2 with

./configure make

In Haiku build Wget2 with

setarch x86 ./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config/non-packaged rm /boot/home/config/non-packaged/wget2 && mv /boot/home/config/non-packaged/wget2_noinstall /boot/home/config/non-packaged/wget2

Test the functionality

make check

Install Wget2 and libwget

sudo make install (or su -c "make install")
