Hi, by sheer luck, I just tried to compile it yesterday. It is coded in Go, and Go does not work well with cross-compiling (it says it does, but it does not in practice). I managed to compile it to 30 % before I encountered a package that is not written for cross-compiling; at this point the building stops and there is no way to go further.

Globally, the status of sync commands is:

• rsync: covered by the GPL, so not possible on the AppStore.
• rclone: written in Rust, same problem as syncthing: some packages on which it depends are not written for cross-compiling.
• syncthing: written in Go, some packages on which it depends are not written for cross-compiling.

It is intensely frustrating for me, and I understand it is also frustrating for you.

emm,i see.but is there any another way to run syncthing without using the [close-source business soft] of synctjing?

Not that I know of. You can scp or sftp files to a remote directory, or use git to synchronize files, but that's not the same.

There is also unison . But it's written in OCaml and the license is GPL v3...
