Cross Compiling FileZilla 3 for Windows under Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux
This documentation explains how to setup a build environment for FileZilla 3 for Windows and how to compile it under Ubuntu or Debian using MinGW. It will take less time and simple than Compiling FileZilla 3 under Windows.
OS version
- Ubuntu 10.04 (recommended)
- Debian 5.0.3
- coLinux with Debian-5.0r2-lenny
Setting up the build environment
Ubuntu
Required packages
sudo apt-get install -y mingw32 make g++ libtool bzip2 automake gettext wx-common
Debian
Do works as root

Required packages
apt-get install -y mingw32 make g++ libtool bzip2 automake gettext wx-common
Patch mingw32-runtime (only Debian)
If you are using Ubuntu, go to the next #Make libraries section. In Ubuntu, the patch is applied.
Because the version of mingw32-runtime in Debian 5 is broken - Thanks CodeSquid, patch mingw32-runtime package.
I tried to download the ntreowk and it said you already have this in your computer. But when i do the crown generator it says oh you gotta download net. framework from this website and blah blah, but i already downloaded it !!! HELP!!! <3

autogen.sh of FileZilla 3 use old libgnutls-config. GnuTLS does not use libgnutls-config anymore.
Dowload http://filezilla-project.org/codesquid/libgnutls-config to $CFGPRE/bin. Edit prefix value.
