I need wget for IRIX 6.5, but can't compile it

RE: I need wget for IRIX 6.5, but I don't have a compiler
Welcome Smile Glad you can join us and ask for help.

So for transferring files to and from a Mac there are probably half a dozen options, some easier, some faster:

- Use a common NFS server. This requires the nfs subsystem on the O2 which is retrievable from http://ftp.irisware.net/pub/irix-os/irix...nfs.tar.gz
- Use scp/sftp. Both the O2 and Mac can run an openssh server which you can use to copy files with sftp or scp.
- Use a statically linked wget on the O2. I have made a Nekoware package which has a static build of the wget binary here: https://tudl1910.home.xs4all.nl/nekoware....4.tardist . It will complain about having unmet dependencies, but installing the neko_wget.sw.static should be fine. Mind you that you should supply --no-check-certificates as an option to wget to disable certificate checking.

The compiler moaning about not having a license is merely cosmetical. AFAIK it should still work, although there areĀ a few dependencies which have to be met in order to build wget. This is all solvable because lots of libraries have been ported already, but only if you like hassling with development on the O2.
