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 [http://developer.apple.com/TOOLS/xcode/ Xcode]. These directions were written for and tested under Mac OS X Tiger Intel. They may or may not work with Panther, Leopard, or any other Mac Cats you have.

==Xcode==
+
== Setting up the build environment ==
−
You need to download and install the latest version of Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/
+
 
 +
This includes the compiler and the required tools to build FileZilla 3 and its dependancies.
 +
 
 +
=== Xcode ===
 +
 
 +
Download and install the latest Xcode package for your system. [http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=19907 Xcode 2.5] is the right version for Tiger.
 +
 
 +
Make sure you select the BSD developer subsystem and the command line tools from the Xcode installer.
 +
 
 +
== 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-2.8.9.tar.gz wxMac-2.8.9.tar.gz].
 +
 
 +
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 +
 
 +
cd /tmp
 +
gzip -cd ~/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.9.tar.gz | tar x
 +
mkdir build-wx
 +
cd build-wx
 +
../wxMac-2.8.9/configure --disable-shared --disable-compat26 --enable-unicode \
 +
--prefix $HOME/filezilla/wxMac-2.8.9 && nice make && make install
 +
 
 +
=== GNU gettext ===
 +
 
 +
Download [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/ GNU gettext]. The current version is [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.17.tar.gz gettext-0.17.tar.gz].
 +
 
 +
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 +
 
 +
cd /tmp
 +
gzip -cd ~/Desktop/gettext-0.17.tar.gz | tar x
 +
cd gettext-0.17
 +
./configure --disable-shared --prefix $HOME/filezilla/gettext && nice make && make install
 +
 
 +
=== GNU libidn ===
 +
 
 +
Download [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/ GNU libidn]. The current version is [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-1.11.tar.gz libidn-1.11.tar.gz].
 +
 
 +
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 +
 
 +
cd /tmp
 +
gzip -cd ~/Desktop/libidn-1.11.tar.gz | tar x
 +
cd libidn-1.11
 +
./configure --disable-shared --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libidn && nice make && make install
 +
 
 +
=== libgpg-error ===
 +
 
 +
Download [ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/ libgpg-error]. The current version is [ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.7.tar.bz2 libgpg-error-1.7.tar.bz2].
 +
 
 +
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
=== libgcrypt ===
 +
 
 +
Download [ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/ libgcrypt]. The current version is [ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.3.tar.bz2 libgcrypt-1.4.3.tar.bz2].

 +
./configure --disable-shared --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt \
 +
--with-gpg-error-prefix=$HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error && nice make && make install
 +
 
 +
=== GNU TLS ===
 +
 
 +
Download [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/ GNU TLS]. The current version is [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-2.6.3.tar.bz2 gnutls-2.6.3.tar.bz2]
 +
 
 +
You also need to download [http://filezilla-project.org/codesquid/gnutls.patch gnutls.patch].
 +
 
 +
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 +
 
 +
cd /tmp
 +
bzip2 -cd ~/Desktop/gnutls-2.6.3.tar.bz2 | tar x
 +
cd gnutls-2.6.3
 +
patch < ~/Desktop/gnutls.patch
 +
./configure --disable-shared --prefix $HOME/filezilla/gnutls \
 +
--with-libgcrypt-prefix=$HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt && nice make && make install

==Build environment==
+
Now we need to fix a problem with libgnutls-config because it forgets it needs zlib.
−
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.
+
Open the file $HOME/filezilla/gnutls/bin/libgnutls-config in TextEdit (or some other text editor). Look for a line near the top that resembles:
  
−
==pkg-config==
+
gnutls_libs="-L${exec_prefix}/lib -lgnutls -L/Users/'''x'''/filezilla/gnutls/lib -lgcrypt -lgpg-error "
−
cd ~/src
 
−
  curl -OL https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz

−
  ./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static --with-internal-glib
 
−
make
 
−
make install
 
  
−
==libidn==
+
Add -lz at the end so that it looks more like:
−
cd ~/src
 
−
curl -OL https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-1.41.tar.gz
 
−
tar xvzf libidn-1.41.tar.gz
