I am attempting to build FileZilla 3 from source according to the steps here:
https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Compiling_FileZilla_3_under_Windows
I got successfully all the way to the Building libfilezilla section:
cd ~
svn co https://svn.filezilla-project.org/svn/libfilezilla/trunk libfilezilla
cd libfilezilla
autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix="$HOME/prefix" --enable-shared --disable-static
make && make install
...on that configure line (line #5) command it does a whole bunch of stuff (apparently successfully), and then finally it stops with this message:
configure: error: GnuTLS 3.7.0 or greater was not found. You can get it from https://gnutls.org/
It seems like even though GnuTLS was downloaded successfully, extracted, and installed (in a previous series of steps as per the doc), it then cannot be found when it gets to this point.
Note: I didn't attempt to run the make line since the previous line fails.
It doesn't make any sense to me why the libfilezilla configure command can't find GnuTLS. Where can I investigate to see why this isn't working?
I went back and ran the make commands on GnuTLS and got many errors like this:

That is only a small subset of the error messages, but they are all similar to what you see above. How can I solve this?
I found the solution:
pacman -Syu
pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gnutls
Then I switched to mingw64 shell.
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gnutls
Then I went back and rebuilt GnuTLS and everything worked.
