I am attempting to build FileZilla 3 from source according to the steps here:

https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Compiling_FileZilla_3_under_Windows

I got successfully all the way to the Building libfilezilla section:

cd ~ svn co https://svn.filezilla-project.org/svn/libfilezilla/trunk libfilezilla cd libfilezilla autoreconf -i ./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static make && make install

...on that configure line (line #5) command it does a whole bunch of stuff (apparently successfully), and then finally it stops with this message:

configure: error: GnuTLS 3.7.0 or greater was not found. You can get it from https://gnutls.org/

It seems like even though GnuTLS was downloaded successfully, extracted, and installed (in a previous series of steps as per the doc), it then cannot be found when it gets to this point.

Note: I didn't attempt to run the make line since the previous line fails.

It doesn't make any sense to me why the libfilezilla configure command can't find GnuTLS. Where can I investigate to see why this isn't working?

Edit

I went back and ran the make commands on GnuTLS and got many errors like this:

That is only a small subset of the error messages, but they are all similar to what you see above. How can I solve this?

  • SmellyCat: When I ran that it returned nothing. Please see my EDIT in the question. Apparently my GnuTLS is not installing correctly, but I don't know how to solve. Commented Jul 26, 2024 at 15:29

I suspect you just installed gnutls, but you have probably to install gnutls-dev.
It's possible that libgnutls[VERSION_NUMBER]-dev is installed instead (see here), but that should be fine.

David, specifically what are you proposing I do? I followed the precise instructions in Filezilla and GnuTLS won't install correctly.

I found the solution:

pacman -Syu pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gnutls

Then I switched to mingw64 shell.

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gnutls

Then I went back and rebuilt GnuTLS and everything worked.
