Compilation of the current git commit 271e572ba2f16f8d5b1d45c768bdec060073c279
dated Tue Sep 10 19:09:39 2019 +0300 fails on Cygwin, and probably many other
systems, because the latest gcc reports warnings that because of -WError
become compilation failures.
This affects these files:
* src/getopt.c
* src/job.c
* lib/findprog.h
Running "gcc --version" reports:
gcc (GCC) 7.4.0
To get to this point, simply "git clone" the current version onto Cygwin (and
probably other systems) and try to:
./bootstrap && ./configure && make check
Below is the relevant extract of the failure report (I had to remove -WError
to get it to run all the way to the final failure):
