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]].

We strongly recommend to use [http://debian.org Debian '''12''' (Bookworkm)] or later ('''recommended''')

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:
