Compiling on Mac and wxWidgets

mreys · **Posted:** 2008-02-24 11:41

Hi,

I just tried to compile the latest release on 10.4.11 and a more recent version of wxWidgets is required. If I compile wxMax-2.8.7, and re-build Filezilla, does that mean that end-users will be required to install latest version of wxWidgets?
Or can this be avoided.

I have no prior experience with C/C++ compilers.

You can configure it with --enable-static

I've done the --disable-share option. I have adapted my PATH en LD_LIBRARY_PATH and got past the wx-widget bit in configure.

Now I have to get past the libidn. Just downloaded/configured/made libidn, but I guess I'll need a way to tell my Filezilla compilation to go and look for the headers in a specific location.
This will have to wait until I got showered, the missus doesn't like me sitting in my dressing gown behind the computer.

Should be enough to set CPPFLAGS="-I /path/to/the/dir/containing/idna.h"

Code:

-I/Users/mikereys/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.7/osx-build/lib/wx/include/mac-ansi-release-static-2.8 -I/Users/mikereys/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.7/include -I/Users/mikereys/Desktop/wxMac-2.8.7/contrib/include -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -D__WXMAC__
checking idna.h usability... no
checking idna.h presence... no
checking for idna.h... no
configure: error: idna.h not found which is part of GNU libidn.

Code:

$ echo $CPPFLAGS
-I /Users/mikereys/Desktop/libidn-1.5/lib/
$ ls /Users/mikereys/Desktop/libidn-1.5/lib/
Makefile.am                     punycode.c

idna.h                          tld.h

pr29.c                          toutf8.c
pr29.h                          version.c
profiles.c

Hmmm... no progress.

header files in lib/ sounds broken, they should be in include/

Looks like you just extracted libidn in to lib/ but didn't compile and install it.

Getting stuck at compiling gnutls
I tried all the recent versions down to 2.0.4 (minimum required to compile FileZilla).

Code:

.libs/libgnutls-extra.lax/liblgnu.a/gc-pbkdf2-sha1.o definition of _gc_pbkdf2_sha1 in section (__TEXT,__text)
../lib/.libs/libgnutls.dylib(gc-pbkdf2-sha1.o) definition of _gc_pbkdf2_sha1
ld: Undefined symbols:
_deflate
_deflateEnd
_deflateInit2_
_deflateInit_
_inflate
_inflateEnd
_inflateInit2_
_inflateInit_
/usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed
make[3]: *** [libgnutls-extra.la] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I haven't got anymore time, but I'll start looking into issues compiling gnutls on Mac Tiger on Google. Ever ran into trouble with this package, as it's a prereq for FileZilla?

Can't recall having had this problem.

mreys · **Posted:** 2008-02-27 12:51

There was an issue with zlib. The guys from gnutls helped me out.

I have a compiled version which I will test... Please let me know how we can proceed to get this distributed, what are the normal procedures...? I have no experience distributing open source software.

Hi Mike,

Have you had any luck with this? I'm very new to Macs and completely new to developing, so the technicalities of making FileZilla from the source files is waaay over my head. I've downloaded all the necessary additions, but I don't even know how to configure and make them, so I'm stopping here until I'm better informed.

If you have a distributable version for OS X 10.4 I'd be so incredibly grateful - I've finally got to the end of my tether with the other alternatives, and I just want FileZilla back.

Thankyou!

Lewis

Nope,

have been struggling to get libgnutls compiled again... there are errors that I cannot solve, and others have no time of solving.

I did manage to get one compiled for me, but then you need to have shared libraries. It's a mess! I'll probably upgrade to 10.5 soon anyway...

Nightmare.

It seems so obvious to have a two-panel ftp system. I've been using classicFTP recently which is desperately slow and requires that you confirm each transfer individually, which is utterly ridiculous. Cyberduck is rubbish too.

Ho hum

Thanks anyway!

I've had tons of problems, but got it solved.
If you want exactly to know what I did, please ask.

Go to my Blog to download the 3.2.4 working FileZilla.app file.

markuszeller, your build is dangerous. It _will_ cause data corruption.

markuszeller · **Posted:** 2009-04-23 04:47

Maybe you are right, but I used it now for several hours and files. This worked out so good that I can not report any problem.

Please, can you explain, why it could be dangerous when I absolutely want to update the files? The only thing happenig is, that it is not asking, just uploading - exactly what this topic is about.
