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.
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.
 
__TOC__
__TOC__


== Setting up the build environment ==
==Xcode==
 
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.
 
=== 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 /usr/local/wxMac-2.8.9 && make
sudo 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 /usr/local && make
sudo 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:
 
cd /tmp
bzip2 -cd ~/Desktop/libgpg-error-1.7.tar.bz2 | tar x
cd libgpg-error-1.7
./configure --disable-shared --prefix /usr/local && make
sudo make install
 
=== 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].
 
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 
cd /tmp
bzip2 -cd ~/Desktop/libgcrypt-1.4.3.tar.bz2 | tar x
cd libgcrypt-1.4.3
./configure --disable-shared --with-gpg-error-prefix=/usr/local --prefix /usr/local && make
sudo 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 --with-libgcrypt-prefix=/usr/local --prefix /usr/local && make
sudo make install
 
Now we need to fix a problem with libgnutls-config because it forgets it needs zlib.
 
Open Terminal again if you closed it, and enter these commands:
 
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo nano -w libgnutls-config
 
Look for a line near the top that says:
 
gnutls_libs="-L${exec_prefix}/lib -lgnutls  -L/usr/local/lib -lgcrypt -lgpg-error  "
 
Change it to read


  gnutls_libs="-L${exec_prefix}/lib -lgnutls -L/usr/local/lib -lgcrypt -lgpg-error -lz "
==Build environment==
Open a Terminal and type the following:
mkdir -p "$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"


Notice all we added is the -lz at the end. Please note the space between -lz and the closing quote; it '''must''' be present.
If you ever close the terminal and reopen it, repeat the above steps before you continue.
