Hi everyone, I'm trying ffs for syncing my local folders with remote ones. I
locally mount my shared remote folder through sshfs. When i try syncing ffs
hangs after a while, especially in full load and I have to kill the process.

Connection is good and I manage drag transfer between folders (local and
remote) without any problem (via nautilus). I can transfer, simply dragging
very large amount of data (GB), so I think it was a ffs's problem, not related
to sshfs or network fail.

Has anybody else notice the same issue?

OS Ubuntu 11.04 (client and server)
ffs vers. 3.16 (from ubuntu ppa)

Is there some way I can reproduce this behavior? If so, I can debug it and
find out what's causing the hang.
I'm on Ubuntu 11.4.

I don't know if there is a way, i followed those steps:

1. sudo apt-get install sshfs
2. sudo add-apt-repository (ffs ppa)
3. sudo apt-get install freefilesync
4. sshfs maegras@host:/home/maegras /mnt/maegras

then i start ffs and try to sync folder /home/maegras/Documenti with
/mnt/maegras/Documenti (about 36GB of data, was first sync) but it also hangs
with 2/3 GB

If you explain me hot to debug i can try on my own

Simple, get the sources and Code::Blocks, set build target to "Debug" and
start in debug mode.

I was trying to compile ffs in debug mode on Ubuntu 11.04 (64_bit) but i got

||=== FreeFileSync, Debug ===|
./shared/pch.h|25|fatal error: wx/wxprec.h: File o directory non esistente|
||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|

I followed compile.txt instructions.

Compile instructions are only for the release build of FFS.
In your case you have either not compiled wxWidgets in debug build or not
specified to use wxWidgets debug build during FFS compilation.

My bad: replace "Zstring" by "zstring"
