== 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 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 (February 21, 2009), [http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/300/wa/getSoftware?fileID=24283 Xcode 3.1.2 (24 Nov 2008)] 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 3.1.2, 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-2.8.10.tar.gz wxMac-2.8.10.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.

Xcode

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

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"

If you ever close the terminal and reopen it, repeat the above steps before you continue.
