Common config for Linux and Windows

Do you mean config folder location? If so, it works well, since it starts. But crashes with error, because cannot find folder, because path is for different system

You need to have everything, i.e. both the config, the database, and the folders, set up with relative paths.

For example:

1. Place both syncthing.exe (Windows executable) and syncthing (Linux binary) in the same folder called Syncthing.

2. Start Syncthing from that folder using syncthing.exe -home=.\files in Windows, and syncthing -home=./files in Linux.

3. Use relative paths for your folders, e.g. .

This way, you will have a portable installation with a folder structure resembling

Syncthing
    files
        index-v0.14.0.db
        cert.pem
        config.xml
        csrftokens.txt
        https-cert.pem
        https-key.pem
        key.pem
    Sync
    syncthing
    syncthing.exe

which you can move around and run Syncthing from it wherever you like between Windows and Linux.

Also, just a disclaimer, but please do not use your real data while experimenting with this.
