Hi Cyril, Thanks for the speedy reply, Appreciate that.
That did indeed seem to be the trick. I wondered why the build process
was suggesting ';' were missing, but I shrugged it off as being too
simple a fix, heh. "My bad" on that.
That does indeed get me further, although I've run into a new error on
the same fdio function:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CCLD dpkg-deb
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_fs_preallocate_setup", referenced from:
_fd_allocate_size in libdpkg.a(fdio.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
make[2]: *** [dpkg-deb] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
