Arch Linux User Repository

Hello @NiceMicro ! FreeFileSync uses logic introduced in wxgtk 3.1 to get the XDG config paths, so the easiest solution was to revert to the old logic until Archlinux upgrades to wxgtk 3.1.

With hindsight, it would have been worth re-implementing this (small) part ourselves instead of waiting for 1.5 years (and probably 6 more months). :)

Hi! Is there a reason why the use of XDG standard configs are reverted to use a config directory right in the home directory?

Thanks for the explanation.

bin stands for binary, as in precompiled. In an open source world/environment that only exists for convenience, which is why there are two versions. This is only the case for software that is open source to begin with, there are also precompiled packages in the AUR that are closed source, thus these do not have a 'bin' cousin. Binaries are an easy way in for malicious software, google 'arch linux acroread malware'

Yes, you're right. Just for my knowledge, why a version freefilesync and freefilesync-bin?

Thanks

@imarco, jvloendersloot

I don't really see the problem here, the way i see it you have two easy solutions:

• Switch to Manjaro unstable branch, update the system and build again.
• Use freefilesync-bin package from the AUR

A friendly reminder, AUR is intended for use with Arch Linux.

Same problem as jvloendersloot for me (GCC 9.3.0-1) and my system is up to date (Manjaro).

@jvloendersloot AFAIK this should not happen with GCC 10, which has been in the core repository for 5 days. Maybe try a more up-to-date mirror. ;)

I still have the problem with zen. My system is up to date.

@symen You are right, thank you!
