Freefilesync not working

Postby skyrunner » Oct 23rd, '13, 12:05

For syncronize and backup my stuff, I use Freefilesync, that load and start successfully.
But..
When I try to compare the directories to sync it says that it is not possible to find the directories.
It sees the directory, because it is possible to navigate between and choose them. But it just cannot handle them.

In oter Linux ditribution (such as Ubuntu I was using before) there is no problem. I cannot solve this.
Any idea?

:(

I've never tried FreefileSync before but it does seem to be broken in the way you describe. Since you are familiar with this application, please open a bug report: https://bugs.mageia.org/

There are a number of alternative backup applications available in the Mageia repo's. One that I've seen recommended often is luckybackup.

just to indicates that I have also the same problem : the application doesn't find any directory (I suppose the path built from the current path is wrong )

the behavior is exactly reported on this link : http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum ... lesync.php
So I have dowloaded sources (6.1 version) to compile on 64 bits machine but I am in trouble because I can't find some files
I put below where I have
Code: Select all
mkdir -p ../Obj/FFS_GCC_Make_Release/ffs/src/
g++ -pthread -std=c++11 -Wall -pipe -O3 -DNDEBUG -DWXINTL_NO_GETTEXT_MACRO -I../.. -I../../zenXml -include "zen/i18n.h" -include "zen/warn_static.h" -DZEN_LINUX `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` -I/root/Desktop/boost `/root/Desktop/wxWidgets/lib/release/bin/wx-config --cxxflags      --debug=no --static=yes` -c algorithm.cpp -o ../Obj/FFS_GCC_Make_Release/ffs/src/algorithm.o
/bin/sh: /root/Desktop/wxWidgets/lib/release/bin/wx-config: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
In file included from algorithm.cpp:14:0:
../../zen/thread.h:29:28: erreur fatale: boost/thread.hpp : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
compilation terminée.
make: *** [../Obj/FFS_GCC_Make_Release/ffs/src/algorithm.o] Erreur 1


I notice this application works on Ubuntu 64 bits machine (version 5.22)

Thanks for your help or do you think that I have to switch to Ubuntu distrib ?

Cannot confirm, freefilesync works fine here, Mageia 4, x86_64, freefilesync-5.10-5.mga4.x86_64

As a hint, you should not compile stuff as root. Seems you have also logged in as root into the desktop environment.
For your error messages, you can easily find out which packages those files are contained in via urpmf
Code: Select all
[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ urpmf boost/thread.hpp | sort
lib64boost-devel:/usr/include/boost/thread.hpp
libboost-devel:/usr/include/boost/thread.hpp

I have still the lack of boost/thread.hpp and wx-config files
remember it is x86-64 Mageia 3 distrib (not I586)!
note I am not very familiar with urpmf and so in terminal mode.
the Freefilesync version 5.10 wich doesn't work as explained at the beginning was dowloaded with rpmdrake
I expect your next advices
Thanks

urpmf queries all packages for a filename and shows you which packages that file is contained in. You only searched for the files like I did, now you need to install the packages.
Please check our software management MAQeia for more information on software and package management.

This should do it (doesn't matter if run on i586 or x86_64, it will install the right packages)
Code: Select all
urpmi boost-devel wxgtku-devel

thanks again for your help

I did your hint and have succeed to install using gurpmi in place of urpmi because the command urpmi is not found allthough I show it installed in my rpmdrake interface.
I join the log file of my installation
Anyway, I started compilation again of my source Freefilesync 6.1 version and I have still some trouble.
see below
Code: Select all
[gjj@localhost Source]$ make
mkdir -p ../Obj/FFS_GCC_Make_Release/ffs/src/
g++ -pthread -std=c++11 -Wall -pipe -O3 -DNDEBUG -DWXINTL_NO_GETTEXT_MACRO -I../.. -I../../zenXml -include "zen/i18n.h" -include "zen/warn_static.h" -DZEN_LINUX `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` -I/home/gjj/Desktop/boost `/home/gjj/Desktop/wxWidgets/lib/release/bin/wx-config --cxxflags      --debug=no --static=yes` -c algorithm.cpp -o ../Obj/FFS_GCC_Make_Release/ffs/src/algorithm.o

thanks and pleasure to get your next advices
