Compile and install wget on Mac OS X

1. Make sure you have Xcode installed
2. Download the wget source code: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/wget-1.12.tar.gz
3. Compile and install:

   tar xzvf wget-1.12.tar.gz
   cd wget-1.12
   ./configure
   make
   sudo make install
   

Note:

I tried only version wget-1.12. The later version of the source code may not be so easy to compile.
