The cstddef discovery is from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52567517/freefilesync-c-error-byte-is-not-a-member-of-std
Some changes just make the application work better in an installed setting (e.g., the hard-coded resouce path).
Tricking the wxWidgets ABI version comes from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45123664/wxwidgets-runtime-error-mismatch-version/47822976#47822976
FreeFileSync 10.11 updated the default compile flags to -std=c++2a, but this fails on gcc 4.8.5 on el7. Reverting to -std=c++17 allows the application to compile.
