problems building libarchive from git

[da_aud...@yahoo.com]

On Arch linux and Just pulled latest git build and attempted to compile but am running into errors:

  ./build/autogen.sh

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-xml2

  make

Errors are in this pastebin:  http://pastebin.com/aL0MiZPp

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I also tried adding --disable-acl to the configure step which does get further but still dies in errors:

./.libs/libarchive.a(archive_write_disk_posix.o): In function `_archive_write_disk_finish_entry':
archive_write_disk_posix.c:(.text+0xfec): undefined reference to `archive_write_disk_set_acls'

The new ACL code needs some more work on Linux.
Any Volunteers? (It shouldn't be hard; the hard parts of
the new ACL code are all platform-independent.)

Ouch. Looks like the new archive_write_disk_acl.c file
got left out of the autoconf build.

Please try this again and let me know.

OK.  It builds now if I configure disabling acl.  Looking forward to the acl work you alluded to in your post.  I am NO programmer :)

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-xml2 --disable-acl
