THIS GUIDE IS DEPRECATED

This guide will help you through compiling FZ3. It does only cover building FileZilla 3 using GCC.

Required tools:

GCC. Windows users may use MinGW (windows port of GCC), see http://www.mingw.org/
GNU gettext
Recommended for CVS builds: autoconf 2.5 or newer, automake 1.7 or newer, libtool 1.5 or newer. (Windows only: MinGW packages exist)

Required libraries:

wxWidgets 2.5.3 or later
libidn (http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/)

Compiling wxWidgets:

See wxWidgets readme. --enable-unicode flag for configure is recommended.

Compiling FileZilla 3:

If the file configure does not exist, for example if using the CVS version of FileZilla, run ./autogen.sh. If that fails, for example because you do not have the required GNU autotools, run ./update-configure.sh
Now run ./configure and after that completes, run make followed by make install.

i can't compile Filezilla 3 CVS on linux with GCC. A week ago it worked perfectly.

Code: Select all

Install a fresh CVS build of wxWidgets.

Just out of curiosity: What is the nightly build target "i386-mingw32msvc" supposed to mean? Is it compiled using "mingw" or "msvc", since both strings are part of the name?

Another thing: Wasn't there a discussion to use cmake or scons or something like that for multi-plattform support?

AFAIK it is the win32 build of FZ3.

LOL, of course it's the Win32 build, that's what the name says. The question is: Which Windows compiler was used? MinGW or VC?

You're alle wrong, MSCV is the Motorcycle Safety Center of Virginia, just have a look at http://www.mscv.org , or FileZilla is built using mingw with support for msvc runtime?

eyebex · #8 Post by **eyebex** » 2005-05-26 19:31

heh, nice try, but it's "msvc" not "mscv"

Don't know what the MSVC is for, it was part of the guide I used to compile the cross compiler

Code: Select all

wxWidgets 2.5.3 or later

on the moment it is wxWidgets 2.6.1

as far as I know wxWidgets must be compiled with the folowing configure options "--enable-static --disable-shared --disable-compat24"
