How to compile folder that contains bin, lib and share

  • 772

I downloaded FileZilla from the website, and the file type is tar.bz2. I extracted it which is a folder contains bin, lib and share sub folders. Since there is no instruction of how to compile them and I am not so familiar with compiling, so I ask for help.

PS: I know I could use sudo apt install filezilla, but I would rather get to know how to compile so I can learn something.

Thanks

    The compiling instructions are documented on the FileZilla Wiki,

    FileZilla 3 has the following dependencies:

    • libfilezilla
    • wxWidgets
    • GnuTLS
    • libidn (under Unix-like systems)
    • gettext (Compiletime only)
    • libdbus (under Unix-like systems)

    Then to actually compile it,

    If all dependencies are installed, compiling FileZilla is as simple as calling

    ./configure
make
make install

    This is pretty much the standard way of compiling and installing most free/libre and open source software on GNU/Linux.
