Hello,
I am trying to compile RHEL-6 kernel srpm on Fedora 14 and
run into the following problem. From what I read
-Werror flag causes warnings to be treated as errors - but I
don't see that flag on in the following. Any ideas?
My guess:
gcc4.4.4 had --disable-werror by default, so we must -werror explicitly
to get warning treated as errors;
gcc4.5.1 does NOT have --disable-werror by default, so,
unless you specify --disable-werror on the compile line, warnings are
treated like errors.
I don't have either compiler version here at work, so I can't verify.
ANYHOW, if your 4.5.1 build tree Makefile has CFLAGS with
--disable-werrors in it, does the problem go away?
Hmm... If I understand you, then I need to rebuild gcc with this
config option? - I am using the gcc that came with f14 - Is there a
switch to gcc to disable this 'feature' when I am trying to build a
kernel - like -fdont-treat-warnings-as-errors
