Compiling FileZilla 3 under Open Solaris
From FileZilla Wiki
This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for FileZilla 3 and how to compile it under Open Solaris. These directions have been tested under Open Solaris 2008.11 Intel 64-bit. Other versions may or may not work.

Setting up the build environment
This includes the compiler and the required tools to build FileZilla 3 and its dependencies.
Required Packages
The majority of FileZilla requirements can be installed from the Open Solaris repository. You will need gcc, the GTK+ libraries, The X Window headers, GNU libidn, and GNU make. Although Open Solaris has packages for GNU gettext and wxWidgets, they are too outdated to be usable (as of Apr 26, 2009). Solaris make doesn't seem to work for building wxWidgets, so GNU make is also required.
From the package manager, install the following Open Solaris packages. SUNWgnome-common-devel, SUNWgcc, SUNWxwinc, SUNWxorg-headers, SUNWgnu-idn, and SUNWgmake. Allow the package manager to pull in any required dependencies.
Building the Dependencies
In addition to what we installed from the Open Solaris repository, we also need to build wxWidgets and GNU gettext. The current versions as of this writing (Apr 26, 2009) are wxWidgets 2.8.10 and GNU gettext 0.17. Other versions may or may not work.
If you have a multi-core machine, changing 'nice gmake' to 'nice gmake -jX' will take advantage of it. Rule of thumb says to replace X with the number of cores plus 1 (e.g. nice gmake -j3 for a Dual Core).
wxWidgets
Download wxWidgets. GTK+ is the preferred UNIX edition.
Open a terminal to build wxGTK.
cd mkdir fztemp cd fztemp gzip -cd ~/Desktop/wxGTK-2.8.10.tar.gz | tar x mkdir build-wx cd build-wx ../wxGTK-2.8.10/configure --with-gtk --disable-shared --disable-compat26 \ --enable-unicode --prefix "$HOME"/filezilla nice gmake gmake install
GNU gettext
Download GNU gettext.
Start a terminal and enter the following commands:
cd ~/fztemp gzip -cd ~/Desktop/gettext-0.17.tar.gz | tar x cd gettext-0.17 ./configure LDFLAGS="-lsec" --prefix "$HOME"/filezilla nice gmake gmake install
Building FileZilla 3
Download the FileZilla source.
Start a terminal and enter the following commands:
cd ~/fztemp bzip2 -cd ~/Desktop/FileZilla_3.2.4_src.tar.bz2 | tar x cd filezilla-3.2.4 export PATH="$HOME"/filezilla/bin:$PATH ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/idn" --disable-shared --prefix "$HOME"/filezilla nice gmake gmake install
Cleanup
You can delete the entire ~/fztemp directory after FileZilla is built. You will not need it again. Everything necessary to build new FileZilla revisions is in ~/filezilla.
Troubleshooting
If you run into problems, please make sure you've followed each step exactly how it is explained and that you haven't missed any steps along the way. Feel free to ask questions on the FileZilla forums.
