== 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 ===
 
−
 
 
−
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 and Mountain 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.
 
−
If your using Xcode 4.0 or above, "Command Line Tools" will need to be downloaded and installed from the app itself under "Preferences" then "Downloads".
 
−
 
 
−
== Building the Dependencies ==
 
−
 
 
−
FileZilla depends on the work of several open source projects. We must build them before we can build FileZilla.
 
−
 
 
−
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).
 
−
 
 
−
=== pkg-config ===
 
−
 
 
−
''Note'': Mac OS X Lion (10.7) appears to come with pkg-config already installed. So you should be able to skip this if you have 10.7 or later.

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[edit]

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

Build environment[edit]

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.
