Message-ID: <20061204182442.GB11343@adacore.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.2i Mailing-List: contact gdb-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: gdb-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2006-12/txt/msg00021.txt.bz2 Hello, A user reported that he failed to build GDB on x86-linux, I think it was RedHat FC 5. The builds are due to warnings beeing treated as errors. For the last release, I turned --disable-werror by default because I didn't want users to get their build stuck because of warnings. I thought there would be less issues with that with this release, but maybe I'm wrong. Because C compilers vary a lot in the warnings they emit, and newer compilers always find newer warnings, I am starting to think that we might want to produce all our released with --disable-werror by default. More work for me, but less hassle for the users... What does everyone think? -- Joel
