Hi,

I'm trying to compile from source a arm64 version for Kali-Linux on a Raspberry Pi 4.
I'm roughly following the instructions here (where applicable): https://github.com/pmkees/build-FreeFileSync-on-raspberry-pi

Dependencies were (so far) taken care of by
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev libxtst-dev libwxbase3.0-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-media3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev wx-common wx3.0-headers wx3.0-doc libssh2-1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
But I'm getting stuck at the following compilation error:
In file included from ../../zen/i18n.h:12,
                 from <command-line>:
../../zen/globals.h: In member function ‘void zen::PodSpinMutex::lock()’:
../../zen/globals.h:226:15: error: ‘struct std::atomic_flag’ has no member named ‘wait’
  226 |         flag_.wait(true, std::memory_order_relaxed);
      |               ^~~~
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.
What's required to fix this?

Thanks bgstack15 for the hints! Before your edits, I tried the latest gcc 10 compiler (10.3) but it didn't change anything.

I hit one other problem (related to zen/legacy_compiler.cpp if memory serves me right) I took a shortcut and copied an earlier version of the file to successfully finished compilation- unsure if the executable is healthy and fully functional though (but worked enough for my task at hand).

FFS is forward-leaning when it comes to keeping your dependencies up-to-date, that's for sure. :)
