A summary of what this patch does:
- Ensure using the system boost library. It appears the source looks for a locally-bundled boost lib, which was not included with the 10.1 code.
- Link to zlib because previous versions use to, and without I could not compile.
- Compile against gtk+3 instead of gtk+2 because I could not get it to compile against gtk2.
- Place the changelog text file where the Makefile expects.
- Disable the check for updates and lines related to activation, particularly a few based on a newer version of wxWidgets which Fedora 28 does not have yet (wxWidgets 3.1.1).
- Revert to an older version of the scrollSpeed calculation because wxWidgets 3.1.1 is not in Fedora yet.
4. Apply patch
cd 10.1
patch -p1 < ../FreeFileSync-10.1-1.fc28.patch
5. Compile and install
cd FreeFileSync/Source
make && sudo make install
