This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for [[FileZilla 3]] and how to compile it under macOS using [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ Xcode]. These directions have been tested under macOS 12 (Monterey) on an Intel Mac. Resulting binaries are for macOS 10.13 or later.

This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for [[FileZilla 3]] and how to compile it under Mac OS X using [https://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 [https://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
 +
 
 +
=== Disadvantages of Fink ===
 +
 
 +
* packaged version of FileZilla can sometimes lag behind the newest release
 +
* customizing the build process is not straightforward
 +
 
 +
=== 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 and Mountain 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.
 +
If your using Xcode 4.0 or above, "Command Line Tools" will need to be downloaded and installed from the app itself under "Preferences" then "Downloads".
 +
 
 +
== Building the Dependencies ==
 +
 
 +
FileZilla depends on the work of several open source projects. We must build them before we can build FileZilla.
 +
 
 +
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).
 +
 
 +
=== pkg-config ===
 +
 
 +
''Note'': Mac OS X Lion (10.7) appears to come with pkg-config already installed. So you should be able to skip this if you have 10.7 or later.
