Debian Support for v6.11 forward

Posts: 1 · jdwalsh 14 Nov 2014, 17:44

Fosshub doesn't display Debian packages for FreeFileSync version 6.11. I recall reading that FreeFileSync's Debian package support was tentative, and might be withdrawn at some point. Has that happened, or will Debian packages be available in the future?

Thanks for a great utility!

Official support for any Linux distribution is tentative, but for Debian the problem is not that there is too little demand (although it's not too great either), but that their gcc compiler is too old for the recent code changes. This should be resolved with the next major Debian release.

what a pity...
please set 6.10 available for download, at least...

Not that I know of. FFS needs at least gcc 4.8 or later.

P.s. the link of 6.10 doesn't works ;)

...mmm I've just take knowledge that if I install gcc++ for c++11 from Jessie Repo, I will have to update libc6 in order to let works any other c++11 compiled programs on wheezy.

I'd like to try it into a VM
please could you suggest to me any other information?
Thank you
