Compile ffsync

[Martijn085]

I can't compile ffsync anymore.

I run this command from the folder: /spksrc/spk/ffsync : make arch=x86-6.0.2

This is the error message i get:

===> Compiling for bzip2 cd /spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/bzip2-1.0.6 && env PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/install//usr/local/ffsync/lib/pkgconfig WORK_DIR=/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ffsync make bzip2 bzip2recover PREFIX=/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/install/usr/local/ffsync make[3]: Map '/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/bzip2-1.0.6' wordt binnengegaan make[3]: 'bzip2' is up-to-date. make[3]: 'bzip2recover' is up-to-date. make[3]: Map '/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/bzip2-1.0.6' wordt verlaten cd /spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/bzip2-1.0.6 && env PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/install//usr/local/ffsync/lib/pkgconfig WORK_DIR=/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ffsync make -f Makefile-libbz2_so PREFIX=/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/install/usr/local/ffsync make[3]: Map '/spksrc/spk/ffsync/work/bzip2-1.0.6' wordt binnengegaan cc -shared -Wl,-soname -Wl,libbz2.so.1.0 -o libbz2.so.1.0.6 blocksort.o huffman.o crctable.o randtable.o compress.o decompress.o bzlib.o /usr/bin/ld: blocksort.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against .rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Anyone can help me out to fix this?

I suppose you build from dsm6 branch. May you please try again invoking make arch-x64-6.0.2 ?

I have other troubles because of an "invalid source location" concerning libev:

===>  Downloading files for libev
wget http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/libev-4.22.tar.gz
http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/libev-4.22.tar.gz:
2017-07-24 07:43:35 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Readme clearly states to hard-code Attic, so we will do: http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/README

From my point of view ffsync requires a full update and review to be packaged again.

I have other troubles because of an "invalid source location" concerning libev:

Had the same. Just change the version of libev in the requirements from 4.22 to (at this moment) 4.24
I also remembered I had to update the SHA1 , SHA256 and MD5 checksum to that of 4.24

The original Firefox Sync Server, as indicated in its source repository, is no longer actively maintained. Instead, it has been redeveloped in Rust and is now hosted in a new repository called Syncstorage-rs. The upcoming release, associated with the Pull Request 5942 in the SynoCommunity/spksrc repository, will soon replace all prior versions of the package due to their deprecated functionality.

We invite interested individuals to explore the Checks tab at this link for the opportunity to download a pre-release version for testing purposes. Your valuable feedback is highly appreciated and encouraged before the final release.
