Compilling FileZilla 3.57 from sources on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

[rdrygas]

Hello!

Has anyone been able to compile FileZilla 3.57 from sources with dependecies on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS?

Code: Select all

checking for libfilezilla >= 0.35.0... no
configure: error: libfilezilla not found: Requested 'libfilezilla >= 0.35.0' but version of libfilezilla is 0.30.0
You may find new versions of libfilezilla at https://lib.filezilla-project.org/. You can download it from https://lib.filezilla-project.org/

I downloaded libfilezilla-0.35.0.tar.bz2, configure...

Code: Select all

checking for gnutls >= 3.7.0... no
configure: error: GnuTLS 3.7.0 or greater was not found. You can get it from https://gnutls.org/

I downloaded gnutls-3.7.2.tar.xz, configure...

Code: Select all

checking for NETTLE... no
configure: error: 
  ***
  *** Libnettle 3.6 was not found.

I downloaded nettle-3.7.3.tar.gz. Configure, make and install. And sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib64/ just to be sure...

Again, GnuTLS configure...

Code: Select all

checking for NETTLE... no
configure: error: 
  ***
  *** Libnettle 3.6 was not found.

What am I doing wrong?

In general, make sure to compile and install both FileZilla and any custom dependencies into their own prefix as to not damage your system. To make this very, very greatly easy, there's https://svn.filezilla-project.org/svn/prefix_scripts/
