Hi!

I'm unable to build Freefilesync 13.1 on Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic) due to this error:
application.cpp:249:2: error: #error why is wxWidgets uncaught exception handling enabled!?
   249 | #error why is wxWidgets uncaught exception handling enabled!?
       |  ^~~~~
 compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.
You can find attached the full build log.

Can you help?

Thank you!

wxWidgets' exception handling gets in the way of debugging by handling uncaught exceptions, thous hiding their point of origin. Luckily this behavior can be disabled. If you're not debugging FreeFileSync, this option doesn't matter, and you can ignore the error.

What about using one of these (as per Strategies for Exception Handling), for minimal exception handling?
- wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop()
- wxApp::OnUnhandledException()
