On arch I needed an additional file for the utf8cpp package. I copied both files from the conan github . freesynd 0.9 now builds & runs fine, I just uploaded the new PKGBUILD to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freesynd
Found https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/recipes/crcpp/all/conanfile.py which makes clear CRCpp by d-bahr is the correct dep. Now to figure out how to combine conan with pacman. I've created https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=312154 to get input from other archlinux users about this.
freesynd 0.9 - cmake can't find crcpp
Next to the ticket title there should be an edit button . If it's not there specify the title you want to have this and someone with admin access can change it for you.

Can't reproduce with freecol-git rev 933a05dba from 2025-11-24 which appears to be the same version you use. Please describe what you do after loading that produces this error.
What do you consider wagon train distance ? On america large map starting in the south (buenos aires area) I usually have 6+ indian villages within 7 squares .
Freecol just asks windows for the location of Documents for your user and creates freecol/save under that location . On systems where onedrive is used MS redirects all standard locations to that . ADDED: Run freecol --help from a commandline prompt, there are several options to change the directories used by freecol. one of them may work for you.
