Help compiling Windows FZ3 under Ubuntu please...

[brandogg]

...hey I'm trying to compile FileZilla 3 for Windows under Ubuntu 12.04 but have a hangup at the last couple of steps :

wget -O $CFGPRE/bin/libgnutls-config http://filezilla-project.org/codesquid/libgnutls-config

echo $CFGPRE
/home/fz/mingw32 # remember the path

vi $CFGPRE/bin/libgnutls-config
prefix=/home/fz/mingw32 # edit this line.

chmod +x $CFGPRE/bin/libgnutls-config

I've done the wget -O ... part, but the last few steps seem a little ambiguous to me (I am new to these tools). I type them as they are and nothing seems to happen (nothing beneficial at least). I have successfully compiled in Windows using the steps on the Wiki, just got a hangup here. Thanks for the help, and sorry for the n00b questions.

Open the file in an editor and edit the prefix in the file so that it matches your prefix. The editor used in the example is vi.

OK I get that I need to edit that line, but echo $CFGPRE just prints a blank line. I'm 99% I didn't miss any steps, but if that's the issue is there an easy way to basically undo everything and start over? I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 VMware (latest) in Windows 8 if that matters, but I don't think it should. Thank you.

Did you at any time close the terminal? If so, you need to re-enter the commands that set the environment variables.

Sorry for the late reply, yes I did close the terminal, your suggestion worked. Thank you.
