@theirongiant@hachyderm.io I was doing this last week and their wiki page on compiling from source mentions all the required dependencies on several distributions https://netatalk.io/compilation.html

@pitz@mastodon.social - yes, I found all that. What wasn't clear is that I needed to install the -dev components separately on the Raspberry Pi platform. It wasn't sufficient to have the runtimes.

@pitz@mastodon.social - the issue was that afpd is reading from a config file in an unexpected location: instead of /etc/netatalk/afp.conf, it's /usr/local/etc/afp.conf. I'd love for someone to explain why that makes any sense, or where in any documentation for Netatalk or Raspbian I should have known to check for this. I only discovered it by accident when running "ps -ef" to check if the daemon was actually running. After wasting hours last night, to say that this pissed me off is an understatement.
