Uri Shachar commented on TS-1786:
---------------------------------
I'm concerned that this will make it too easy to miss/ignore problems -- how
many people build with _--enable-debug_ before each commit? Out of the rest,
how many would notice that the debug buildbot is failing.....
I'd suggest adding a configure.ac option to disable -Werror (something like
_\--disable-werror_) - that way *all* of our buildbots will still be sensitive
to compilation warnings, but users will be able to override if it causes
breakage on their system.
> only enable -Werror for debug builds

> It's very difficult to always build with -Werror on every platform we
> support. -Werror is only valuable to developers, not so much for users. We
> should consider only enabling -Werror if the build was configured with
> --enable-debug. This probably involves adding autoconf macros to test whether
> the compiler actually supports -Werror.
