Cvs Compilation

[Placid]

Ok, whenever I cvs up (usually everyday), and then recompile, the -Wdeclaration-after-statement compilation flag always causes problems. Even if I 'release' it still causes errors.

 

This seems to happen constantly, and im wondering if its something im missing as I have to remove that and -werror (according to CK) on every recompile.

 

Any thoughts?

do your gcc version has the flag at all? if it doesnt.. take it out from the makefile

-Wdeclaration-after-statement only works on gcc 3.4 and higher. I strongly recommend keeping a local copy of the Makefile with flags specific to your system, and updating that when necessary.

 

EDIT: gcc 3.4 I think, not 3.4.1

Thanks, any advantage of using it?

 

I could upgrade GCC, but only if its worth it (RPM distro's are a bit of a pain)

not really its a warning flag, if it compiled with the flag when the person coded it should compile witht the same warning flag when you compile its only useful for people developing the source, every warning flag is there to help but is not needed in any way or form

use the source luke! the power of the source compels you! (j/k)

No, it's only to warn against C99 style declarations (of variables after the first statement in the function). It has no effect on the compiled binary.

Yes I could do that, but it would be breaking the distro.

Fair enough, i'll just keep my amended makefile for future cvs up's.

 

Thanks for the help.
