I assumed that that was the case, since Paul suggests starting with wget. As I said, I need some guidance, but I also need the time to tackle it again. The main objective, with this project, is to get the build environment to work with a simple project that is known to work, since others have done it. After that, it is easier to move on to more complicated projects.

FWIW, I downloaded the wget 1.14 source this evening and have run configure. Will see what's required for me to get it building and post back here

Don't waste too much time on it. I can't get wget 1.11.1 to build either. There is something in my configuration that is wrong, and I won't have time to try to figure it out, until next year.

Fairly trivial.
One minor diff:

For you maybe. :)
Anyway, now I need to find the time to figure out what you just said, and get this thing to build.
Thanks...

Re: bazaar - I'd forgotten, but it used python - so if you have python and gcc installed, trying to install it with 'python setup.py install' _may_ work.
Something triggered in my mind last night re: graphical toolkits like xwidgets and even gtk+ that it may be possible to compile them for OS/2 using the odin toolkit and the win32 api. A lot of work has been done on odin recently - this may be a viable way to get other graphical toolkits than Qt onto OS/2.
I'm not committing _yet_ to take this on, but I am thinking about it. Debugging apache2/php is starting to annoy me, so I need something fun to distract me :)
If I can compile the GTK+ toolkit using odin, there's a chance of getting an up to date Gimp for OS/2!
