Re: [Audacity-devel] make -k fails on Ubuntu Linux

[Gordon W. <gor...@ch...>]

Darren,

When you make with the '-k' you just keep going after any errors.  You're
usually better off without '-k' so make stops at the first error.  I see
that your compile line has -Werror which causes all warnings to be treated
as errors.  There are lots of compile warnings, so it's not surprising that
your compile fails.  Most are due to implicit type conversions that could be
questionable, but usually are ok.  Many quality engineers will insist on
warning free compiles for commercial development.

I'm not sure which option to configure is adding that -Werror flag to the
makefile.

I'm also on Ubuntu, version 7.10, and I don't have that flag come up from
configure.  I'm not enabling debug though.  If you leave off the debug when
you configure, does it build?  It builds fine here, even with all the
warnings.

Since submissions to this list get emailed to everyone, personally I think
it is much better to have the link to your web page so only those that want
to look need to get the listing.  I chopped the listing off for this response.
