wget misses libssl32.dll (affects r.in.wms)

[msieczka]

Trying to run wget form WinGRASS 6.4 Msys console yields an error:

(...) libssl32.dll was not found (...)

Is it just me or does anybody have the same problem?

it's an packaging issue. as i've prepared the final WinGrass64-release installer, it seems that libssl32.dll was missing in my building environment. I've added this now, so maybe it's time for a WinGRASS-6.4.0-1-Setup.exe?

Since curl is provided, and I assume is working, wget is not needed for r.in.wms nor by anything else. The message from r.in.wms that it isn't found is just an artifact of msys's 'which' and can be ignored.

It is handy and if it's included* it might as well work, but it isn't required for any module.

[*] Actually in the 6.5svn nightly build wget isn't in C:\Program Files\GRASS-65-SVN\extrabin, so I question if it is actually installed by us at all. Instead I guess it has been installed independently by the end-user, so not a problem of our causing.

Setting as invalid as AFAIK we don't even ship wget. It must be coming in from somewhere else.

In 6.4.0 we do. ​http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.0-1-Setup.exe installed with wine:

$ ls .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/GRASS-64/extrabin/wget.exe -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 pok pok 449024 2008-12-31 .wine/drive_c/Program Files/GRASS-64/extrabin/wget.exe

In the recent 6.4 SVN snapshots it is *not* present, though. Is wget going to be included in 6.4.1? If not, please close the ticket again.

the difference must be that the 6.4.0-1 binary came from Helmut's machine where wget was installed in the osgeo4w stack, and 6.4.0svn nightly builds come from Martin's machine where wget is not installed.

As curl is already there, it is redundant to ship wget too, especially if osgeo4w's (or Helmut's) wget has library issues or requires extra 3rd party MSVC dlls.

6.4.2rc3 native/stand-alone installer ships both curl and wget in $GISBASE/extrabin/. wget tested & working.
