error: cannot convert ‘std::string*’ {aka ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<char>*’} to ‘mega::LocalPath&’

Trying to build MEGAcmd with the latest sdk, I keep getting this error:

Hi @roblav96

We have updated the codebase and now mklocaldir() accepts a LocalPath as argument, not a std::string. That's why you get the compiler error.

Could you please provide the commits of MEGAcmd and MEGA's SDK that produce such compilation error? I think it's already solved in recent code.

Thanks
