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

* [http://ubuntu.com Ubuntu] 10.4 ('''recommended''')
Any recent Linux should do the trick. For the sake of simplicity, this guide focuses on Debian(-based) distributions.

* [http://debian.org Debian] 5.0.3

* [http://colinux.org coLinux] with [http://sourceforge.net/projects/colinux/files/Images%202.6.x%20Debian/Debian%205.0%20Lenny/Debian-5.0r2-lenny.7z/download Debian-5.0r2-lenny]
We strongly recommend to use [http://debian.org Debian '''12''' (Bookworkm)] or later ('''recommended''')

Note: This does not affect mingw-w64 >= v4.0.6, mingw-w64 v4.0.6 is available in Ubuntu 16.10.
 
  
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.

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