Same initial error reported by Fuzzy here. Can't upgrade to 14.8

Ok, this seems to be because of gcc15 (I suspect compilation should be fine with gcc14, but I don't have time to build gcc14 from AUR for the test). I created a patch and successfully built freefilesync package with gcc15. Here is a patch content, works with GCC 15.2.1 20260209:

@Fuzzy Same here. Unable to build the current version.

Is it only me, who fails to build with following error: /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmem.h:172:3: error: expected id-expression before ‘(’ token?

@neostun

The donation edition license requires the donation edition build, this package is not it.

@Ferik

This builds fine on my machine, have you reported this to the freefilesync forum?

ERROR: /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/15.2.1/../../../../lib/libwx_gtk3u_html-3.2.so: undefined reference to `_wx_link_dummy_func_wxhtml_chm_support()' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [Makefile:127: ../Build/Bin/FreeFileSync] Error 1

When I donated in the past, it was a totally separate build that I was given. If the license unlocked anything in this Free software, somebody would just change the source so it just provides the extra features without the need for a donation license.

how to add my Donation Edition license file to the install? tried install --mode=644 "FreeFileSync_14.6_[Donation_Edition]_Install.license" "/opt/FreeFileSync/Resources/Registered.dat"

ls /opt/FreeFileSync/Resources/ output: .rw-r--r-- 500 root 5 Dec 21:22  Registered.dat

but dint work. any help is appreciated.
