Re: automatic sync on linux

You might be able to configure your desktop environment (e.g., GNOME, Unity, MATE, Cinnamon, etc.) to perform a certain action when a usb drive is plugged in. I use Cinnamon and when I insert a removable drive, Cinnamon asks me what I want to do with the drive. You might be able to select an option ...

Re: Cannot build FreeFilSync 9.7 due to `warn_static` was not declared in this scope error

I have been trying to compile on Fedora 27, so my experience is a little different. Maybe curly braces either in the FreeFileSync code are not perfectly balanced (as suggested by your bold sections of output), or maybe even in your gcc implementation. It looks like you've got the gcc source code the...

Re: Version 9.2 no longer works on Fedora Linux

I remember seeing that problem myself. It probably has to do with different library version numbers in OpenSUSE and Fedora. It is probably being compiled by Zenju on such an OpenSUSE Linux system, against specific versions of the libraries used to build. And Fedora 25 didn't ever update to those ver...

Re: How to install updates For Linux

The Ubuntu tarball (for version 9.7 at least) contains a single directory, FreeFileSync. Inside that directory are the files for the application. The binary (executable) is the FreeFileSync file that is approximately 60MB in size. You can run this file from wherever you extracted the tarball. If you...

Re: Best Set-up for Linux Server & 2 laptops

FreeFileSync only needs to exist on one. Now, that one has to be the one that can connect to the other devices, at least one at a time, so you can run the synchronization tasks. You will need to configure the operating system (Ubuntu, on the server anyway) to be able to access the filesystems of the...

Problems with compiling version 9.4 on Fedora 27

I have been struggling with compiling FreeFileSync 9.4 from source. I started on this version before 9.6 came out, and didn't want to change mid-stream. I'll try 9.6 eventually, though, don't worry. I can compile the application and execute it. Most of the time, it segfaults and dumps the core (have...
