After many nights of plowing through code i managed to get the horror release 11.1 done. And with that behind me i was able to progress much faster to 11.4 than i anticipated. With a bit of time to spare i decided to fix some theming bugs that Zenju had no interest in (https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6978).

I tried to build 11.15 with the following changes and got a bin and run properly with only lager icon UI in HiDPI settings. BUT the compare speed is much slower than official linux bundle. Maybe the official default parrelel operation setting is higher than source code defined 1?

For Makefile
change gtk2.0 to 3.0:
cxxFlags  += `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0`
cxxFlags  += -isystem/usr/include/gtk-3.0
add:
linkFlags += `pkg-config --libs   gtk+-3.0`
patch open_ssl.cpp ffs_openssl.patch

https://gitlab.com/bgstack15/stackrpms/-/blob/master/freefilesync/debian/patches/ffs_openssl.patch

FreeFileSync/Source/afs/sftp.cpp
add to line 60:
#define MAX_SFTP_OUTGOING_SIZE 30000
#define MAX_SFTP_READ_SIZE 30000
FreeFileSync/Source/base/icon_loader.cpp
Change:

return FileIconHolder(static_cast<GIcon*>(::g_object_ref(gicon)) /pass ownership/, maxSize);

to:

return FileIconHolder(gicon , maxSize);

Any chance to work on an updated PKGBUILD for this neat piece of software? Thanks in advance!

Hi jooch, your email address is hidden, so here it goes:

I know that maintaining this package is a major PITA and lots of things change in every package upgrade and maintaining this is not as easy as many other packages.

But using a package which is 6 months old is not good for me and other users too, so I'm wondering if anyone else can help you through this process which takes time, I don't know c++ myself, but I can offer a pipeline for testing packages in https://github.com/aminvakil/aur (feel free to clone), we can change it any way you need to test freefilesync of course.

Thank you for maintaining this for the past years!

Won't build for me:

Also, this version is four months old. They are on 11.10 now.

dlagent is causing build issues if the BUILDDIR is set to a another directory, please fix this.

I also had issues with wxgtk2 but figured out one could easily change the dependency without uninstalling. With pikaur, use pikaur -S --rebuild freefilesync, and when it asks to view the PKGBUILD, do so and replace the dependency wxgtk with wxgtk2. It works just fine for me.

I am having issues with webkitgtk (I think there is a conflict with webkitgtk-3 perhaps?) and wxgtk-git. I am new with AUR installs, so thanks for patience. I have this problem on three of my Arch Linux machines. Here is the final error when I try to install webkitgtk manually (same when running "yay -S freefilesync"):


autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Intltool
autoreconf: running: gtkdocize --copy
gtkdocize: GTK_DOC_CHECK not called in ./configure.ac
autoreconf: error: gtkdocize failed with exit status: 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
error making: webkitgtk

Could this AUR be looking for an old dependency? Would webkitgtk-3 work?

P.S. I think I am reading that wxgtk is being skipped. Like the users below, I think the wxgtk2 might be the solution. I tried @Fuzzy 's recommendation to use yay --editmenu -S freefilesync, but I had the same result. I don't know how to edit a PKGBUILD with yay.

Edits: additional notes and learning markdown.

Fuzzy commented on 2021-01-15 07:04 (UTC)

For those who use yayand don't want to download PKGBUILD manually - I used command yay --editmenu -S freefilesync to invoke PKGBUILD edit request during installation and replaced 'wxgtk' to 'wxgtk' at line #15.

It would help if you could update the PKGBUILD to make the dependency 'wxgtk2' instead of 'wxgtk'. When I tried to use 'pacman -Suy' today, it refused to update wxgtk2, because it broke freefilesync's dependency on 'wxgtk'. When I uninstalled freefilesync, I was able to update 'wxgtk2', but then I couldn't install freefilesync until I edited the PKGBUILD dependency to read 'wxgtk2'.
