There's a space missing between the gcc and the -v.

I see. That's not the compiler known to work as listed on the FileZilla Wiki.

I'm unfamiliar with your particular setup, and the problem occurs compiling a third-party library. I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this case :(

I followed the wiki ... if there's any way to get it working I'd be quite happy to hear it.

Also , do you have any reccomendations for alternative ways to compile and edit filezilla? I am working on it as part of a school project and I've been ramming my head against the compilation issue for a while now. I wish I had thought to ask the forum before my deadline got so close

As per https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Comp ... er_Windows, you should have GCC 4.5, not 4.8.

As alternative, there's also the guide for cross-compiling FileZilla: https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Cros ... _GNU/Linux, it's actually the way the official FileZilla binaries are currently being built.

Hi, I've been working on compiling Filezilla 3 under Windows. I followed your instructions in the wiki exactly and everything installed fine. In the last step after I've downloaded Filezilla's trunk and changed the directory, i go to execute the autoreconf -i. I get these errors:

locales/Makefile.am:46: warning: 'x'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension
locales/Makefile.am:50: warning: 'x'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension

Then why i enter the ./configure --with-tinyxml=builtin command, I don't get an error. But when I go to make, cc1plus.exe stops working. This causes mingw32 to give me this:

You have a strange directory structure there. You were following the guide too literal. I'll adjust the guide to account for this. Nonetheless, it shouldn't cause this compile error.

Can you please post a bit larger section of the output?

I saw the wiki edits with changing directories and I re-did everything from scratch. Everything installed fine, but thing still don't go well at the Filezilla compile steps. autoreconf -i gives this:

The configure command still doesn't give any error, but the make command does where cc1plus.exe stops working:

When I click cancel, the window shows this:

And from there, I don't know what to do.

It's a compiler error. Which version are you using, ie. what's the output of gcc -v ?

Looks like we need to wait for the next compiler version.

In the meantime, you could try a slightly older version of the compiler, e.g. 4.9.0 (rev 2).

So in other words, I'm probably not doing anything wrong here? Also, when i download 4.9.0, do I have re-do everything from the beginning on that wiki page? Because that would be the third time I'm doing this.

Is there like a pre-compiled compiler I can download for Filezilla where its just enter the filezilla directory and it will compile it into the necessary executables.

You may or may not have to start over. Only trying it out will bring clarity.

Yes, that's what the guide does. But it's not working for you for some reason.

I've been having trouble finding an older version of the compiler. Do you happen to have a link?
