Bugzilla – Bug 1225862
Package metamail does not build with gcc14 because of new errors
Last modified: 2024-07-01 09:46:53 UTC
GCC 14 newly by default treats as errors a number of situations which before were only warnings. For more information see https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html and meta bug #1220571. Because of this, package metamail fails to compile. This can be seen online at: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7/metamail/standard/x86_64 It can be reproduced locally with command: osc build --clean --alternative-project home:rguenther:nextgcc Given the age of the code-base, I believe this should be dealt with compiler options, either -permissive or a -std=gnu89 (together with -Wno-error=return-type). The (first) error (that halts the build) is: [ 11s] codes.c: In function ‘output64chunk’: [ 11s] codes.c:103:1: error: type of ‘c1’ defaults to ‘int’ [-Wimplicit-int] [ 11s] 103 | output64chunk(c1, c2, c3, pads, outfile) [ 11s] | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ [ 11s] codes.c:103:1: error: type of ‘c2’ defaults to ‘int’ [-Wimplicit-int] [ 11s] codes.c:103:1: error: type of ‘c3’ defaults to ‘int’ [-Wimplicit-int] [ 11s] codes.c:103:1: error: type of ‘pads’ defaults to ‘int’ [-Wimplicit-int]

Hi Martin, you already submitted request for this bug report, so I assign it to you now. Please feel free to reassign whenever necessary, thanks.
