libfilezilla is installed but running configure says no

#1 Post by scootergrisen » 2016-12-06 00:19

I try to build FileZilla.
I have installed packages libfilezilla0 0.7.0-1 and libfilezilla-dev 0.7.0-1.
When i run configure it says:

Code: Select all

checking for LIBFILEZILLA... no
configure: error: libfilezilla not found. You can download it from https://lib.filezilla-project.org/
In configure i se ...libfilezilla >= 0.9.0... so perhaps the version i have is to old.
If that is the case maybe the error message could be improve to says something like:

Code: Select all

checking for LIBFILEZILLA... yes (but to old)
...the installed version is X and you need at least version X
Or something like that.

Should i use this to point to where i have build the new version of libfilezilla?

Code: Select all

export LIBFILEZILLA_LIBS=/home/[USERNAME]/trunk/compile/
I don't know i'm just guessing.
I dont't want to installer in /usr/bin/ so i use prefix when running configure.

This check is done using pkg-config and its supplementary macros from pkg.m4. I'll see if I can add more detailed diagnostics, but no promises.

If using a custom prefix, set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to the lib/pkgconfig subdirectory of your prefix.

Ok thanks.
What is the correct way to update the wxstd translation if that is still being used. I can't find it.
I made some changes to wxstd so i would like to use the latest changes.

wxstd translation? I'm not sure I understand.

Does FileZilla not use wxWidgets for general stuff like button called "OK" and "Cancel"?
http://www.wxwidgets.org/

I see a button called "O.k." in the settings dialog but i don't know where this string comes from.

I get this message when i start FileZilla i build don't know if that could be why.
18:50:32: Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected.

Grepping through the entire source of both fz and wx does not reveal any "O.k." string. It may pick up default strings from your desktop environment?


You must compile both wxWidgets and FileZilla with the same compiler, else wxWidgets complains about a potential ABI mismatch.
