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__
  
== 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.
 
 
 
Be sure you Customize the install. You will need to make sure all options under "Command Line Support" are checked.
 
 
 
== 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-2.8.9.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 "$HOME/filezilla/wxMac-2.8.9" && nice make && make install
 
 
 
=== GNU gettext ===
 
 
 
Download [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/ GNU gettext]. The current version is [http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.17.tar.gz gettext-0.17.tar.gz].
 
 
 
Start Terminal from the Applications/Utilities folder and enter the following commands:
 
 
 
cd /tmp
 
gzip -cd ~/Desktop/gettext-0.17.tar.gz | tar x
 
cd gettext-0.17
 
./configure --prefix "$HOME/filezilla/gettext" && nice make && 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 "$HOME/filezilla/libidn" && nice make && 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 "$HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error" && nice make && 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 --prefix "$HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt" \
 
--with-gpg-error-prefix="$HOME/filezilla/libgpg-error" && nice make && 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 --prefix "$HOME/filezilla/gnutls" \
 
--with-libgcrypt-prefix="$HOME/filezilla/libgcrypt" && nice make && make install
 
  
Now we need to fix a problem with libgnutls-config because it forgets it needs zlib.

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.

Xcode

You need to download and install the latest version of Xcode from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/

Build environment
