   I had a similar Issue. The following changes allowed me to build and install a 2.x version of syncthing.

   The main issues were the following breaking changes in syncthing v2:

   • single-dash options like -home are no longer supported
   • the default folder creating and thus also the --no-default-folder flag were removed

   Therefore, the start.sh script needed to be adapted, otherwise syncthing fails to start due to invalid flags.
