*****UPDATE: The 100 Unobtanium bounty was won by Bitcointalk user Pnoch. This solution successfully created a FreeFileSync build for Centos 7. The solution is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=527500.msg8964419#msg8964419 *********

FreeFileSync on Centos?
Shouldn't be hard to do.
Without compilation? I fear this one is mandatory, since there's no official build for this OS.
Unobtanium?
Sorry, never heard of this.
Make and maintain:
That's not a small request, and the user base needing this is probably tiny. Except maybe if it's larger than openSuse.

Bitcointalk user Pnoch won the 100 UNO bounty. I'll update my main post with more details shortly.
Unobtanium?
Unobtanium is a crypto-currency similar to Bitcoin that is designed fairly (no premine), and is rare (only 250,000 will ever be mined). More details are here: http://unobtanium.uno/

I understand and accept your point of view. However, the install base of Centos 7 is going to be HUGE!!! Remember that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Centos 7, Scientific Linux 7, and Oracle Unbreakable Linux 7 are all basically the same. Red Hat alone is a $10.5 billion company, meaning that a lot of businesses will eventually have Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installed. Centos is also very popular. I use FreeFileSync at work to sync my work computer to my Iron Key thumb drive, and then I wanted to sync it to my Centos 7 laptop. I tried to compile FreeFileSync 6.9 and I tried to use the OpenSuse 6.9 binaries. Both failed though the OpenSuse 6.9 binaries work on Fedora 20. I paid Bitcointalk user Enoch 100 UNO (worth about 400 US dollars at the current price) to help me fix the compile problem.
Unobtanium is currently crypto-currency number 54 on the list here: http://coinmarketcap.com/
It turned out to be a pretty simple fix. We just had to install some dependencies, and change the Gtk references in the makefile from 2x to 3x. But I did not have time to sit down and figure all of that out, so thank you to Pnoch!!!
