Unable to compile mpdas on OSMC

[massdosage]

I'm trying to set up mpdas on OSMC on a Raspberry Pi to scrobble songs from MPD installed locally. I've downloaded the 0.4.4 source code and tried to run "make" on it. After installing various missing libraries it's now failing compilation with the following error:

Any ideas? Hopefully I'm missing something simple.

I tried again using the code from master and this compiles fine. Perhaps time to cut a new release?

Try the master branch. It has one more commit (compared to the latest release), which makes the codebase more compatible with older compilers.

Yeah, master works, thanks. Was just suggesting maybe doing a 0.4.5 release with this, but not too bothered as I'm fine working against master for now.
