This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for [[FileZilla 3]] and how to compile it under Mac OS X using [http://developer.apple.com/TOOLS/xcode/ Xcode]. These directions have been tested under Tiger and Leopard on an Intel Mac. Other Mac OS versions may or may not work.
 +
 
 +
See [http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10220 this post] for more information about the build process on Tiger along with some automated build files.

==Xcode==
+
== Automated building with Fink ==
−
You need to download and install the latest version of Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/
+
 
 +
You may find it easier to use [http://www.finkproject.org Fink] to automate the process of building FileZilla from source. 
 +
 
 +
=== Advantages of Fink ===
 +
 
 +
* works under Tiger and Leopard on Intel and PPC
 +
* all necessary dependencies are downloaded, built, and installed automatically with a single command
 +
* does not interfere with any system software or other third-party software on your machine
 +
* as new versions of FileZilla  are released, rebuilding and upgrading is automated
 +
 
 +
Sarah /    I'm trying to use this theme for a cenlit and it's generating this error: Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback,  mytheme_add_admin' was given in /home1/webdcmar/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395Can you please double-check this and email me if you've corrected for the problem? The old version of Handgloves isn't even upload-able anymore. Just generates a string of errors. Thanks!
 +
 
 +
=== Instructions ===
 +
 
 +
# Install Fink per the [http://www.finkproject.org/doc/users-guide/index.php User's Guide].
 +
# Enable the "unstable" tree per [http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable this FAQ entry].
 +
# Run <code>fink install filezilla</code> in a Terminal window.
 +
 
 +
Once the build process completes successfully, you will find a FileZilla icon in your Applications folder.
 +
 
 +
== Setting up the build environment ==
 +
 
 +
This includes the compiler and the required tools to build FileZilla 3 and its dependencies.
 +
 
 +
=== Xcode ===
 +
 
 +
You will need to download the version of Xcode appropriate for your version of OS X.
 +
 
 +
* [http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=19907 Xcode 2.5] for Tiger
 +
* [http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=20792 Xcode 3.2.6] for Leopard and Snow Leopard
 +
* Xcode 4 for Lion can be found in the App Store
 +
 
 +
If you are using Xcode 2.5, you will need to customize the install. Ensure all options under "Command Line Support" are checked. In Xcode 3, this is not necessary.
 +
 
 +
== Building the Dependencies ==
 +
 
 +
FileZilla depends on the work of several open source projects. We must build them before we can build FileZilla.
 +
 
 +
The dependencies can take a long time to build. Instead of waiting for each project to build, you can start an additional Terminal Shell for each one and run them at the same time. However, you must have libgpg-error built before libgcrypt, and you must have libgcrypt built before GNU TLS.
 +
 
 +
If you have a multi-core machine, the build may go faster if you change "nice make" to "nice make -jN" where N equals the number of cores you have + 1 (e.g. dual-core: N = 3).
 +
 
 +
=== wxWidgets ===
 +
 
 +
Download [http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ wxWidgets]. You will need version 2.8.9 or later. The current version for Mac is [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxMac-2.8.12.tar.gz wxMac-2.8.12.tar.gz].
 +
 
 +
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 +
 
 +
cd /tmp
 +
tar xzf ~/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.12.tar.gz
 +
mkdir build-wx
 +
cd build-wx
 +
../wxMac-2.8.12/configure --disable-compat26 --enable-unicode \
 +
--prefix $HOME/filezilla/wxMac && nice make && make install
 +
 
 +

=== pkg-config ===
 +
 
 +
Download [http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/ pkg-config]. You will need version 0.23 or later. The current version is [http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.25.tar.gz pkg-config-0.25.tar.gz].

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 [http://forum.filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla forums].
 +
 
 +
==Building under 10.6 Snow Leopard==
 +
 
 +
When trying to build these codes under 10.6 you might - on certain machines - end up with errors.  The reason is that we fail to compile wxWidgets for 64 bits. See [http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Development:_wxMac] for how to build wxMac for 32 bits, or  we may just use the Macports to install wxWidgets:
  
−
==Build environment==
+
  sudo port install wxwidgets
−
Open a Terminal and type the following:
 
−
  mkdir -p "$HOME/prefix"
 
−
mkdir -p "$HOME/src"
 
−
export CC="clang -mmacosx-version-min=10.13"
 
−
export CXX="clang++ -std=c++17 -stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.13"
 
−
export OBJC="clang -mmacosx-version-min=10.13"
 
−
export OBJCXX="clang++ -std=c++17 -stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.13"
 
−
export AS="as -mmacosx-version-min=10.13"
 
−
export LD="ld -macosx_version_min 10.13"
 
−
export PATH="$HOME/prefix/bin:$PATH"
 
−
export CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/prefix/include"
 
−
export LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/prefix/lib"
 
−
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/prefix/lib"
 
−
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/prefix/lib/pkgconfig"
 
  
−
If you ever close the terminal and reopen it, repeat the above steps before you continue.
+
And now we also need to build libgpg-error, libgcrypt, GNU TLS  and GNU libidn for 32 bits.  Here is the commands for  libgpg-error:
  
−
==pkg-config==
+
$ arch_flags="-arch i386"
−
  cd ~/src
+
  $ ./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error  CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" \
−
curl -OL https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz
+
  CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" LDFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"
−
  tar xvf pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz
+
  $ nice make -j5 && make install
−
  cd pkg-config-0.29.2
 
−
  ./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static --with-internal-glib
 
−
  make
 
−
make install
 
  
−
==libidn==
+
The commands for installing libgcrypt:
−
cd ~/src

tar xvzf libidn-1.41.tar.gz
 
−
cd libidn-1.41
 
−
./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static
 
−
make
 
−
make install
 
  
−
==GMP==
+
  cd libgcrypt-1.4.6
−
  cd ~/src
+
  ./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt --with-gpg-error-prefix=$HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error  CC="gcc -m32"
−
curl -OL https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.3.0.tar.xz
+
  nice make -j5 && make install
−
tar xvf gmp-6.3.0.tar.xz

  $ ./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/gnutls --with-libgcrypt --with-libgcrypt-prefix=$HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt  \
−
cd ~/src
+
CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" LDFLAGS="$arch_flags"  \
−
curl -OL https://www.gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnutls/v3.8/gnutls-3.8.4.tar.xz
+
  OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"
−
tar xvf gnutls-3.8.4.tar.xz

  $ ./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libidn  CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" \
−
curl -OL https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.22.4.tar.xz
+
  LDFLAGS="$arch_flags"  OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"
−
tar xvf gettext-0.22.4.tar.xz
