How to install FreeFileSync on a RaspberryPi?

Kurios

I could only find two forums adressing this: the FreeFileSync one, and the RaspberryPi one and none seem to have an answer.

 

So FFS is available for Linux Debian, but was compiled on Intel ×86_64 and would not work on the ARM-based processor of the RPi.(https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5192) 

So the question is how does one compile the source for it to work?

Download the source, extract it, navigate to FreeFileSync/Source and run "make -j5"

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

^ Dis but Idk if a Pi distro has all the headers needed, you may have best luck using a live linux distro or WSL by using an ARM cross compiler then making binaries for that little Pi
And check the dependencies needed for compiling tho, and install those before doing make

Any luck with this project ? i'm a total-noob on debian.
i just bought a raspberry-pi4b and i wonder if i can solve my live-sync between my google drive and my local wd sharespace through the excelent freefilesync.

i also trying to find a solution to run freefilesync on my Qnap.
