Install the prerequisites for installing from source: It is probably best to remove any version that was installed with apt since it might try to 'upgrade' back to the older version.īuild and install Filezilla 3.49.1 from source: It is recommended to install Filezilla from source or through the apt-get install method (which will be an older version). I removed the section below that contained how to replace your installation with the precompiled version since it really is outdated now. Ubuntu 18.10 and newer contain the newer libc6 and are not affected by this. If you are running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or older, the libc6 library does not contain GLIBC 2.28 which is now required by the precompiled version of Filezilla 3.49.1. I'll try the Forums next time.NOTE: The newest precompiled version of Filezilla is now 3.49.1 which was built for Debian 10.0 (Buster). But you guys have pissed me off with your style of answering these types of questions. I will compile and install libfilezilla and get your filezilla compile to work. This time to avoid bugging you guys I looked for libfilezilla! If Google can't find the source code then it isn't ready for prime time! Last time at least the dependency was available for download and use. This is the second time that dependencies have messed up filezilla compiles.

It would be nice to change dependencies after the new dependency is actually ready for download, installation and use. (This does not mean the developers that know enough to go around shortcomings!) ((They generate the shortcomings!)) This is not very easy to do unless you provide enough information to allow even knowledgeable users to compile your code. When you change dependencies you could at least mention the change somewhere else it looks like, smells like and is a bug!įilezilla is very nice and I would prefer to use the development version on Ubuntu. The libfilezilla pointer you provided is to a development repository that doesn't even try to provide a Makefile Nowhere in your documentation is the NEW dependency on libfilezilla noted.
