[BUG] Compiling on arm64/aarch64: error Please add -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to your compile flags!

[EmberHeartshine]

Following the instructions here, I'm trying to compile this on an Oracle Cloud Ampere system. The system is running Ubuntu 20.04.

$ uname -a
20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 16 00:56:44 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Steps to reproduce:

1. Follow the "Getting Started" instructions up to CMake.
2. $ cmake ..
3. Observe the following output:

4. Attempt to correct: $ cmake -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ..
5. Observe the following output:

I'm not as incredibly familiar with C/C++ as I used to be, so I went hunting and I found this page. The second suggestion ended up working:

$ git diff
diff --git a/src/psync/pfs.c b/src/psync/pfs.c
index ad6c706..711ed83 100644

  */

 #include <pthread.h>
+#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS  64
 #include <fuse.h>
 #include <errno.h>
 #include <string.h>

HOWEVER this seems kludgy as all heck, so I didn't want to just make the change and open a PR since I'm not familiar with the codebase. Perhaps there's a more elegant solution?

One of the changes in this PR from the upstream may help.

Hmm... Interesting! I'll try to sort out ASAP.

Fixed in the master branch. Feel free to open a new issue if the problem appears again. Thank you for contributing, and for helping make pCloud Console Client better!
