Compile Filezilla 3.60.2 in fedora

#1 Post by RORO_IAN » 2022-08-16 07:27

Hi,
I'm trying to install Fillezilla client 3.60.2 in Fedora 35 to replace Filezilla 3.57.0.
I downloaded the source files and compiled the new libfilezilla-0.38.1 but when I want to compile Filezilla, it says that libfillezilla version is 0.35.0 instead of >= 0.38.1.
I tried to replace the /usr/include/libfilezilla directory by the new compiled one but I still have the same error.
I suppose that the new library needs to be somehow registered, but as I am not familiar with all this, I'm stuck...
I'm aware that this in not an issue due to filezilla itself, but as there is seemingly no other way to upgrade, I allow myself to post my question in this forum.
Thanks in advance for your help !!!

How did you install libfilezilla? Normally all you need is make install

Note that directly installing anything into a system directory, bypassing your system's package manager, is a good way to damage your system. Other programs may stop to run and your package manager will be majorly confused.

Check https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Comp ... s_on_Linux how to setup an use a custom installation prefix that doesn't conflict with any system files.

Hi and thank you for your answer

I untared the lib source files and launched ./configure && make && make install
Sure, I put back the existing /usr/include/libfilezilla directory when I saw that it didnt work.
But I noticed that I have now 2 libfilezilla directories : /usr/include/libfilezilla and /usr/include/local/libfilezilla

I visited the link you gave me but it is seemingly for Debian whereas I am under Fedora

Just substitute the apt commands with whatever is appropriate for your package management system on fedora. Everything else works the same on all platforms.
