Not a bug, wget is never needed during build.
I don't get where you took the impression that the "rest" target is ever used automatically. Even, unlike rebuilding of yaccage, it's never present on the right-hand side of any rule.
Other requirements not mentioned are yacc+lex for when you edit the level compiler, the whole of TeX and docutils if you want a PDF, a cross compiler needed to build Windows packages on non-Windows systems, zip for Windows zipballs, nsis for the Windows installer and so on.
But unlike nsis which you might want for unofficial builds, there is never a reason to run "make rest" yourself since it is useless except for the official wiki. |

How does crawl_manual.txt get built then? It's not in git. |

So here is how I understand it. Please correct me where I'm wrong.
- You are absolutely correct, that the rest target in never used automatically
- However building crawl_manual.txt from crawl_manual.reST does happen automatically
- Currently in git there are apparently botched version of crawl_manual.reST that produces invalid crawl_manual.txt when run through util/unrest.pl
- As a result it is not possible to use commands ?A through to ?N in-game. |

I'm sorry for trying to reopen it, I'm doing this because I think these comments won't get noticed unless I re-open. Please let me know if this is not the case. In addition, please feel free to close it again if you still feel, that the behaviour is correct, i.e. that users are not supposed to use ?A - ?N command in game to quickly skip to particular manual chapters. |

You don't need wget to convert crawl_manual.reST to crawl_manual.txt, albeit you do need perl.
Could you tell me what is the problem with ?A - ?N that you see? It seems to work for me, on Debian, Windows XP, Windows 7 and Mac. Can't try tiles right now. |

Yep, when you press ?A - ?N no help is shown. Instead the game returns back to the main game screen.
crawl_manual.txt that is built looks distinctly different from the one that comes in official release. I'm attaching a copy. |

I do understand that you don't need wget to convert crawl_manual.reST to crawl_manual.txt, albeit you do need perl. The current issue title is no longer relevant, but I did not know that when I was reporting it.
The thing is, if I use wget to get a fresh crawl_manual.reST from the wiki, the crawl_manual.txt that is produced is fine, and ?A - ?N work. But on Windows 7 if wget is not used the crawl_manual.txt id produced as attached. And this breaks ?A - ?N.
Can you replace your crawl_manual.txt with the one that I've attached and see if you can reproduce ?A - ?N not working? |

Found the cause.
The manual viewer gets confused by MS-DOS newlines.
Fixed. |

Yep, this has fixed it. Thank you for you time and attention. |
