Wget ported to Android

[Jacob Hoffman-Andrews]

I spent some time hacking wget to build under the NDK. It works
pretty well, though it's not really in a condition to submit back to
mainline. If you'd like to take a look, though, here's the patch:

http://hoffman-andrews.com/android/wget-android.patch

To build, get wget from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.11.4.tar.gz
and unpack it to android-ndk-1.5_r1/sources/wget. In the wget
directory, run:

./configure --without-ssl --disable-nls --build=arm-eabi

Create android-ndk-1.5_r1/apps/wget/Application.mk:
APP_PROJECT_PATH := $(call my-dir)/project
APP_MODULES := wget

Change back to android-ndk-1.5_r1 and run:
make APP=wget V=1

And here's the binary if you want to skip all that trouble:

Enjoy!

Hi Jacob,

Needed some help on running the wget binary on Android.

I have the NDK setup, where do I copythe wget binary you have put below ?

[Andri File]

You should copy the binary in the /bin directory of your device's filesystem.

And do you need bash or some other unix-like shell also to run wget ?
Or is it wrapped in a simple GUI on Android ?

Regards,

Nalin
