Newest git version doesn't build on ubuntu

[borysjb]

I'm trying to build MPD following the instructions from the website (buildversion debugoptimized, b_ndebug true), using meson (1.0.1) to configure and ninja (1.10.1) to build

This is the termination error thrown when I try to compile using ninja

$ ninja -C output/release/
ninja: Entering directory `output/release/'

I've tried older versions of MPD, the error is the same, and I'm out of ideas.

Is libmpdclient-dev installed?

[borysjb]

yes, version 2.20-1, the newest available on apt

[borysjb]

okay, it must have gotten corrupted or something because reinstalling libmpdclient-dev fixed the issue
