Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nate Muench (n-minker) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: open-vm-tools still fails to build with GCC 4.6 or later Initial Comment: I just downloaded the new release for open-vm-tools (2011.07.19-450511), There still appears to be issues, below are the remaining issues: lib/file/ fileLockPrimitive.c:1404:8: error: variable 'cnt' set but not used lib/file/ fileLockPosix.c:988:9: error: variable 'gotProcData' set but not used I've also attached a partial build log (which is from later during the build), with more errors. It may not be related to GCC 4.6 but I thought I'd bring it up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Nate Muench (n-minker) Date: 2011-07-22 15:50 Message: Adding "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable" to the CFLAGS worked, it built successfully. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marcelo Vanzin (mvanzin) Date: 2011-07-21 12:33 Message: Could you try to configure with "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable" in your CFLAGS? You're interested in building, not in keeping the code clean, so that should work for you. (FYI: it needs to come after "-Wall -Werror" in the gcc command line; I believe just setting CFLAGS in the configure command line will do that.) We still don't use gcc 4.6 internally, so it's hard for us to keep track of these warnings. We'll fix them as we run into them, but disabling that warning is probably the easier solution for you guys. As for the other build errors, they seem to be related to not finding the SunRPC functions in libc. Did something change in the version of glibc you're using? The functions used to be in libc.so. If they've moved, you may need to tweak LDFLAGS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3373006&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.
