## Additional info
Upstream officially still [uses gtk2](https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7660&p=26079#p26063) but the code supports gtk3 starting around version 10.25. With version 10.25, only stdc++=20 is supported, so el7 cannot go any higher: I was unable to find g++-10 for el7.
+On the rpm platforms, where gtk2 is still supported as a primary environment, I compile FreeFileSync against gtk2. On Devuan where gtk2 has been obsoleted, I compile against gtk3.
