This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for [[FileZilla 3]] '''for Windows''' and how to compile it under [https://debian.org Debian] using [https://mingw-w64.org/ Mingw-w64]. It will take less time and is more simple than [[Compiling FileZilla 3 under Windows]].

This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for [[FileZilla 3]] '''for Windows''' and how to compile it under [http://ubuntu.com Ubuntu] or [http://debian.org Debian] using [http://www.mingw.org/ MinGW]. It will take less time and simple than [[Compiling FileZilla 3 under Windows]].

Any recent Linux should do the trick. For the sake of simplicity, this guide focuses on Debian(-based) distributions.

If you are using Ubuntu, go to the next [[#Make libraries]] section. In Ubuntu, the patch is applied.

Because the version of mingw32-runtime in Debian 5 is [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452977 broken] - Thanks [[CodeSquid]], patch mingw32-runtime package.

The version of the MinGW runtime ships with Debian based distributions has broken string conversion functions. You need to fetch the source of the mingw-64 packet and apply the following two patches:

Without these patches, FileZilla will not work properly and will fail in obscure ways.

The above may print a lot of errors and warnings. Ignore them, check for success this way:
+
autogen.sh of FileZilla 3 use old libgnutls-config. GnuTLS does not use libgnutls-config anymore.
