__TOC__


== Automated building with Fink ==
==Xcode==
 
You need to download and install the latest version of Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/
You may find it easier to use [http://www.finkproject.org Fink] to automate the process of building FileZilla from source. 
 
=== Advantages of Fink ===
 
* works under Tiger and Leopard on Intel and PPC
* all necessary dependencies are downloaded, built, and installed automatically with a single command
* does not interfere with any system software or other third-party software on your machine
* as new versions of FileZilla  are released, rebuilding and upgrading is automated
 
=== Disadvantages of Fink ===
 
* packaged version of FileZilla can sometimes lag behind the newest release
* customizing the build process is not straightforward
 
=== Instructions ===
 
# Install Fink per the [http://www.finkproject.org/doc/users-guide/index.php User's Guide].
# Enable the "unstable" tree per [http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable this FAQ entry].
# Run <code>fink install filezilla</code> in a Terminal window.
 
Once the build process completes successfully, you will find a FileZilla icon in your Applications folder.
 
== Setting up the build environment ==
 
This includes the compiler and the required tools to build FileZilla 3 and its dependencies.
 
=== 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. As of this writing (August 25, 2009), [https://developer.apple.com/mac/scripts/downloader.php?path=/Developer_Tools/xcode_3.1.3_developer_tools/xcode313_2736_developerdvd.dmg Xcode 3.1.3 (17 Jun 2009)] is the current version for Leopard.
 
If you are using Xcode 2.5, you will need to customize the install. Ensure all options under "Command Line Support" are checked. In Xcode 3.1.3, this is not necessary.
 
== 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-2.8.11.tar.gz wxMac-2.8.11.tar.gz].

This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for FileZilla 3 and how to compile it under macOS using Xcode. These directions have been tested under macOS 12 (Monterey) on an Intel Mac. Resulting binaries are for macOS 10.13 or later.
