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 have been tested under Tiger and Leopard on an Intel Mac. Other Mac OS versions may or may not work.
That's really tnhiking out of the box. Thanks!
 
See [http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10220 this post] for more information about the build process on Tiger along with some automated build files.
 
__TOC__
 
== Automated building with Fink ==
 
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 ===
 
You will need to download the version of Xcode appropriate for your version of OS X.
 
* [http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=19907 Xcode 2.5] for Tiger
* [http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=20792 Xcode 3.2.6] for Leopard and Snow Leopard
* Xcode 4 for Lion can be found in the App Store
 
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, 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).
 
In the complicated world we live in, it's good to find siplme solutions.
 
=== GNU gettext ===
 
Download [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/ GNU gettext]. The current version is [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.18.1.1.tar.gz gettext-0.18.1.1.tar.gz].
 
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 
cd /tmp
tar xzf ~/Desktop/gettext-0.18.1.1.tar.gz
cd gettext-0.18.1.1
./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/gettext && nice make && make install
 
=== pkg-config ===
 
Download [http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/ pkg-config]. You will need version 0.23 or later. The current version is [http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.25.tar.gz pkg-config-0.25.tar.gz].

cd /tmp
tar xzf ~/Desktop/pkg-config-0.25.tar.gz
cd pkg-config-0.25
./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/pkg-config && nice make && make install
 
'''Note:''' I have not been able to successfully build pkg-config 0.26. It appears to depend on an older version already being present. I suggest sticking with 0.25 for now.

Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 
cd /tmp
tar xjf ~/Desktop/libgcrypt-1.5.0.tar.bz2
cd libgcrypt-1.5.0
./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt \
--with-gpg-error-prefix=$HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error && nice make && make install

== Building [[FileZilla 3]] ==
 
Download the [http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client FileZilla source]. The current version is [http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/files/FileZilla_Client/3.5.1/FileZilla_3.5.1_src.tar.bz2/download FileZilla_3.5.1.src.tar.bz2].
 
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 
cd /tmp
tar xjf ~/Desktop/FileZilla_3.5.1_src.tar.bz2
cd filezilla-3.5.1
export PATH=$HOME/filezilla/wxMac/bin:$HOME/filezilla/gettext/bin:$HOME/filezilla/pkg-config/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/filezilla/gnutls/lib/pkgconfig:$HOME/filezilla/sqlite/lib/pkgconfig
export CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/filezilla/libidn/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/filezilla/libidn/lib"
./configure && nice make
cd FileZilla.app/Contents/MacOS
strip filezilla fzputtygen fzsftp
cd - && mv FileZilla.app ~/Desktop
 
If you get an error after "nice make", try this:
 
rm -rf FileZilla.app && nice make
 
== Troubleshooting ==
 
If you run into problems, please make sure you've followed each step exactly how it is explained and that you haven't missed any steps along the way. Feel free to ask questions on the [http://forum.filezilla-project.org/ FileZilla forums].
 
==Building under 10.6 Snow Leopard==
 
When trying to build these codes under 10.6 you might - on certain machines - end up with errors.  The reason is that we fail to compile wxWidgets for 64 bits. See [http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Development:_wxMac] for how to build wxMac for 32 bits, or  we may just use the Macports to install wxWidgets:
 
sudo port install wxwidgets
 
And now we also need to build libgpg-error, libgcrypt, GNU TLS  and GNU libidn for 32 bits.  Here is the commands for  libgpg-error:
 
$ arch_flags="-arch i386"
$ ./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error  CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"  \
CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" LDFLAGS="$arch_flags"  OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"
$ nice make -j5 && make install
 
The commands for installing libgcrypt:
 
cd libgcrypt-1.4.6
./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt --with-gpg-error-prefix=$HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error  CC="gcc -m32"
nice make -j5 && make install
 
Note ''CC="gcc -m32"'' is used for building Assemble code for 32 bits. For  GNU TLS:
 
$ ./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/gnutls --with-libgcrypt --with-libgcrypt-prefix=$HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt  \
CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" LDFLAGS="$arch_flags"  \
OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"
$ nice make -j5 && make install
 
And for  GNU libidn:
 
$ cd libidn-1.22
$ ./configure --prefix $HOME/filezilla/libidn  CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" \
LDFLAGS="$arch_flags"  OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"
$ nice make -j5 && make install
 
 
Now we can build FileZilla:
 
cd filezilla-3.5.0
export PATH=$HOME/filezilla/wxMac/bin:$HOME/filezilla/gettext/bin:$HOME/filezilla/pkg-config/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/filezilla/gnutls/lib/pkgconfig:$HOME/filezilla/sqlite/lib/pkgconfig
export CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/filezilla/libidn/include"
$ ./configure  CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" LDFLAGS="$arch_flags"  \
OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"  --with-tinyxml=builtin  --with-idn-lib=$HOME/filezilla/libidn/lib/libidn.dylib
$ nice make -j5
$ cd FileZilla.app/Contents/MacOS
$ strip filezilla fzputtygen  fzsftp
$ cd -
$ mv FileZilla.app/  ~/Desktop/
