Howto: Compiling FileZilla 3 under Windows

Message

libtasn1, opencdk and lzo won't be needed (gnutls itself has builtin versions of it). Nasm isn't needed either, it's sufficient to add --disable-asm flag to libgcrypt's configure.
I'll soon update the instructions with the GnuTLS compilation steps.

Needs to recompile wxWidgets 2.7.2 after all these installations?

GnuTls and wxWidgets do not depend on each other. So if you got a working wx version, you won't have to recompile it.

Thanks
It's sufficient this procedure:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix= 
make 
make install

or must I add other flag?

I'm afraid it's more complex than that. And libgcrypt needs to be patched unless you like to wait 50 seconds each time you connect to a server.

Ok I will wait for the instructions.

Instructions have been updated. In addition to adding instructions how to compile GnuTLS + deps, I've bumped the versions of some other packages. Best would be to start over to install everything from scratch.

Hi I have been trying to create the environment but I haven't been able to
get past the gettext installation when I try make I get this:

I've followed the process completely the only difference it's that I used the current version (instead of candidate 5.0.3) MinGW 5.1.3 because I was getting some installation errors it couldn't download a package.

#52 Post by **botg** » 2007-05-14 17:42

Hmm, reminds me of a discussion I had on IRC a while ago. As far as I remember, it's fixed in the gettext CVS repository.

Please get most recent gettext version first. If it still failes, get proper localename.c from gettext CVS repository.

Hi I went to the ftp mentioned at the beginning of the thread (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/) and the last version I found was 0.16.1 so I tried that one, however right at the end I got these errors:

I tried the cvs http://gettext.cvs.sourceforge.net/gettext/

but the latest version there was gettext-0.11.5-w32 a lot older.

Looks like you borked up your build environment somehow.

JohnChuck · #55 Post by **JohnChuck** » 2007-05-15 01:34

Well maybe there's some incompatible versions.

I did install the MinGW 5.1.3 Current version, because the recommended version MinGW 5.0.3 Candidate gave me a downloading error.

Should we still keep to these older versions?

#56 Post by **botg** » 2007-05-15 10:22

Current versions should be used. I'll update the guide next time I'll reinstall Windows.

JohnChuck · #57 Post by **JohnChuck** » 2007-05-15 17:23

Ok, I'll keep a look out for it.

Thanks for your hard work.

#58 Post by **botg** » 2007-05-17 14:11

I've updated the guide a little bit.

JohnChuck · #59 Post by **JohnChuck** » 2007-05-17 19:50

Great!

Oh and I have found why the recursive error
It seams that the SUBLANG_BENGALI was declared twice

Check out this threads:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-t ... 00023.html

I guess we found the same patch

eyebex · #60 Post by **eyebex** » 2007-05-18 12:03

A different question in between: How about considering to use a more modern / sophisticated (meta-)build system than autotools for FZ? I'm thinking of CMAKE or scons in particular. That way, a broader set of project files than just GNU makefiles could easily be generated, simplifying the use of other compilers / IDEs, like e.g. the free Visual Studio Express edition under Windows.

EDIT: I just came across http://www.bakefile.org/, which also seems to be quite nice. Plenty of wx* related projects seem to use it, too.
