#35655: FileZilla @3.5.1 fails to build wxWidgets @2.8.12 on 10.8 Mountain Lion -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: rudloff@… roberthuston@… | Status: new Type: defect | Milestone: Priority: Normal | Version: 2.1.2 Component: ports | Keywords: FileZilla wxWidgets wxWidgets-devel Resolution: | Port: FileZilla | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): Just quoting/repeating what I wrote in comment 12 in #38375 already: I just checked FileZilla and otrproxy. Neither of them compiles with wxWidgets 2.9. With FileZilla it's relatively explicit. 4 years ago a ticket (http://trac .filezilla-project.org/ticket/4973) has been closed with {{{wontfix}}} and the following comment:
FileZilla requires wxWidgets 2.8
Note that wxWidgets 2.9 is an unstable development version, it shouldn't be used in a production environment.
even though they have a wx3 branch (http://svn.filezilla- project.org/filezilla/FileZilla3/branches/), but they haven't touched it for three years and I didn't try to compile that one yet. Someone submitted a bunch of patches in October 2012 (http://trac .filezilla-project.org/ticket/8272). I'm not sure against which version exactly, but it's somewhere close to version 3.5.3 and I managed to apply the patches. They needed additional fixing (the patches have been tested on Windows & Linux, but some additional Mac code needed changes) and still didn't compile. They do nightly builds on a Leopard PowerPC machine. Anyway: FileZilla requires some effort that goes beyond the scope of MacPorts. Someone really needs to collaborate with the upstream developers to get it working, otherwise it would be a lot of effort for very little benefit. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35655#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
