Cross-development of unix tools

How to compile unix tools so that they run on all version systems? I was trying to compile wget in terminal, but cannot compile it against old libraries (libssl, libcrypto). Maybe XCode could do that, but it cannot find some symbols. Should I add these libraries by "Add File" to import symbols or there is a better way? Still even if I add them by hand, I cannot compile.

Thanks

That's because Unix tools tend to depend on other Unix tools, and to compile all of them by hand, that'll normally drive you crazy.

I suggest you use fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) and let the package manager do the compilation for you.
