Pi: LInux: Building FreeFileSync on Pi4

It appears that you don't have dependency wxWidgets installed ("wx-config: not found")

I'm curious, did you ever get this to work?

Here's a web page that shows the steps to build on Linux: https://github.com/jeffli678/build-FreeFileSync

That page references another page https://solarianprogrammer.com/2016/10/07/building-gcc-ubuntu-linux/ that shows how to build a newer version of gcc, which you'll likely need to do as well. When building gcc on the Pi, here are the configure options I used:

Code: Select all

../gcc-9.1.0/configure -v --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-9.1 --program-suffix=-9.1 --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --enable-bootstrap --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --with-default-libstdcxx-abi=new --enable-gnu-unique-object --disable-libitm --disable-libquadmath --disable-libquadmath-support --enable-plugin --with-system-zlib --with-target-system-zlib --enable-objc-gc=auto --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-arch=armv6 --with-fpu=vfp --with-float=hard --disable-werror --enable-checking=release

Many of those are probably the build defaults for gcc but I included them based on the output of the older gcc already installed with raspbian ("gcc -v") just to be sure. Building gcc on the Pi takes a long time.

So, once you have all the build dependencies in place, FreeFileSync builds and runs correctly on the ARMv7 architecture? This is good news!
