I have been trying to install Filezilla 3.47.2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS following the instructions here: How can I upgrade filezilla to the current version?

Everything worked fine until the step ./configure of the source Filezilla, where I got errors on dbus (pointing to versions up to 1-3), which I solved with: 

sudo apt install dbus libdbus-1-3 libdbus-1-dev

and then with gtk2, , which I solved with: 

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev

However now at the make step I get this error:

Any advise on how I should proceed? I have no clue at this point. Thanks, Natassa

I get the same results on my system while doing the following

sudo apt-get build-dep filezilla
cd ~/Downloads
tar -xf libfilezilla-0.21.0.tar.bz2
cd libfilezilla-0.21.0/
./configure
make
sudo make install
tar -xf FileZilla_3.47.2.1_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 
cd filezilla-3.47.2.1/
./configure
make

Also note that FileZilla_3.47.2.1_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 binary from official site does not run on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. As it built for newer Debian parent distribution.

But we have two alternatives

  • install FileZilla 3.47.2.1 as FlatPak

    sudo apt-get install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.filezillaproject.Filezilla

  • install FileZilla 3.46.3 from third-party PPA:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sicklylife/filezilla
sudo apt-get install filezilla

  • Hi Norbert, Do you mean you got the same errors as me with build-dep filezilla? I tried installing FileZilla 3.47.2.1 as FlatPak and it worked like a charm! Way more straightforward than building from sources, thanks! – Natassa G Apr 26 '20 at 18:37
  • Yes, I got the same errors. Looks like some compiler incompatibility. – N0rbert Apr 26 '20 at 19:05
