This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for FileZilla 3 and how to compile it under Windows using msys2. Msys2 is a cygwin environment.
It will take some time to get everything working, but you will be able to use the build environment for other programs too.
Note to wiki contributors: Do not change version numbers on your own. The build process is somewhat fragile and does break if you change things
Installing the MSYS2 environment
Download the 64bit MSYS2 installer: msys2-x86_64-20150512.exe
Install MSYS2 to c:\msys64.
Installing the compiler toolchain
FileZilla's shell extension needs to be build both for 32bit as well as 64bit, hence we're going to need compilers for both 32bit and 64bit.
Tools and compiler
First update
Start the MSYS2 shell
pacman -Syu
close MSYS shell, and maybe you will need rebase (Google for details, just run a autorebase.bat in C:\msys64).
Install tools and compiler toolchain
Start MSYS2 shell, execute the following command:
pacman -S base-devel msys2-devel mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain pacman -S svn git curl wget pacman -S ca-certificates
Downloading dependencies
Download GMP
cd ~ curl -O https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.0.0a.tar.xz
Download Nettle
cd ~ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/nettle/nettle-3.1.1.tar.gz
Download GnuTLS
cd ~ wget ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/gcrypt/gnutls/v3.4/gnutls-3.4.4.1.tar.xz
Download SQLite
cd ~ wget https://sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-autoconf-3081101.tar.gz
Download wxWidgets
cd ~ svn co https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/branches/WX_3_0_BRANCH wx3
Download FileZilla
cd ~ svn co https://svn.filezilla-project.org/svn/FileZilla3/trunk filezilla
Build Filezilla
Fetch patch and build script
git clone https://github.com/rexdf/build_filezilla_on_msys2.git cp build_filezilla_on_msys2/*.patch ~ cp build_filezilla_on_msys2/build.sh ~
Build a static only zlib
git clone https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages.git cd MINGW-packages git apply ../mingw-w64-zlib.patch cd mingw-w64-zlib makepkg-mingw -sLf cp mingw-w64-i686-zlib-1.2.8-8-any.pkg.tar.xz ~/
Build dependencies and filezilla
Build
start MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell shell
./build.sh
Generate installer
Installing NSIS
Download and install Unicode NSIS from http://www.scratchpaper.com
Make sure you get the Unicode version and not the ANSI one.
Compile the installer script
Right click compile/data/install.nsi in Explorer and use "Compile NSIS Script" from context menu.
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.
