This is what I had to do to compile it on my Macbook Pro;

  • Install Xcode, if you haven't, and be sure to select UNIX Dev Support.

Or you'll get this error:

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
  • Export Xcode's gcc PATH:
PATH=/Developer/usr/bin/:$PATH
  • Download wget
  • In Terminal: untar it
tar xvzf wget-latest.*
  • And compile it
cd wget directory
./configure
make
sudo make install
  • In case you had an old (precompiled) wget installed;
    remove that version first (/usr/bin/wget probably).
    By default, this one will install itself in /usr/local/bin/wget which should be in your $PATH as well (in case it's not, make a symlink from the old /usr/bin/wget to /usr/local/bin/wget, or recompile with other installation directories).
