Warning flags are useful for more sophisticated users to detect possible bugs in the software. Users who are just following cookbooks and who aren't prepared to debug the software are not going to gain anything useful by enabling a bunch of optional warnings, let alone trying to use -Werror. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
