When i run the synbak with rsync then hardlinks are lost.

Hi all

when i install synbak by command

 $ ./configure (--prefix=/your/path to relocate the destination base dir)

I have an error is:

./configure: line 1990: syntax error near unexpected token external' ./configure: line 1990: AM_GNU_GETTEXT(external)'

So I run file ./autogen.sh. I have an error is:

autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.19.4 but this version is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.19.4 or newer.

My os is Centos 6. So I have install gettext-0.19.4. will it fix this error. And I will install synbak.

Please help me.

Hi!
Would it be possible to tag the versioned releases, so that the releases and tags pages would show the latest versions along with tarballs of the source? This would make packaging the software easier for me. The initzero.it project homepage page seems to be gone.
Thanks!

I am trying to run synbak with a debian derived distro, when i run the synbak command with rsync it just hangs for hours and does not produce output. Is there a way to debug and see where it is hanging?

Tried on both Fedora 28 and Ubuntu 16.04:

root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01:~/synbak# autoconf
configure.ac:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:19: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT
configure.ac:20: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION

Switching to tag 3.7:

[root@neutronium synbak]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/synbak
./configure: line 1677: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: command not found
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep
checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E
checking for ls... ls
checking for cat... cat
checking for nc... nc
./configure: line 1943: syntax error near unexpected token external' ./configure: line 1943: AM_GNU_GETTEXT(external)'

I am experimenting on synbak, in order to use it as my main backup utility.
My preferred strategy is to separate my data in sets, so I created a template to backup only my HOME hidden files and folders. I tried several source/exclude combinations, but they through an error about the dir folder. Example

backup_source_uri		= file:///home/user/
backup_source			= .*
backup_exclude			= .synbak .gvfs .config

backup_source_uri		= file://
backup_source			= /home/user/.**
backup_exclude			= /home/user/*

backup_source_uri		= file://
backup_source			= /home/user /home/user/.*
backup_exclude			= /home/user/*
...

I could only specify the home folder and exclude manually (one by one) or the opposite
The error is

         Backing up: [/home/user/.*] Size:[unknow] Speed:[unknow] Duration:[00:00:00] Status:[ERROR] 

ERROR: an error is occurred in this step, follow error details:
********************************************************************************
found ".." dir in relative path: /home/user/..
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at flist.c(2214) [sender=3.1.3]

I may have mis-configured, but at a web search I found this, that says rsync fails in script, while succeeds in terminal. Of course, I have no idea if it has to do with my issue.

Could you please help?
How can I set synback conf to include only $HOME/.* (hidden files and folders)?
