Comment (by mojca@…):

 If you install FileZilla based on Cocoa (or Carbon), it builds the app
 automatically.

 If you want to use the app for the wxGTK-based FileZilla, the easiest way
 would be to fix the build system. An alternative would be to create it
 with the `Portfile`. (And you need to be aware that there are some minor
 issues with GTK-based apps. A tiny buglet somewhere in wxGTK, I'm just not
 sure what exactly and it's on nobody's priority list to finish it. But it
 works in principle.)

 I haven't seen the maintainer of FileZilla respond to any ticket or
 request for a very long time already, I'm not sure if he's still
 interested in maintaining the port.

 The upstream developers of FileZilla kind-of-ignore requests and patches
 for wxWidgets 3.0 compatibility, most probably it's just the lack of
 developer's time.
