I am relatively new to Linux.
I was trying to rebuild MDM display manager for Linux mint from url https://github.com/linuxmint/mdm.
In the documentation it is said that you should use
./autogen.sh --enable-ipv6=yes --with-prefetch
If I do that and I do a make I will get this error
mdm-daemon-config.c:1818:4: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
gchar *s = g_strdup_printf (C_(N_("MDM "
^
Then I read somewhere that ubuntu is treating this as error. I tried with
./autogen.sh --enable-ipv6=yes --with-prefetch CFLAGS="-Wno-format-security"
And I got rid of that warning but I got another error:
mdm-daemon-config.c:2003:1: error: no previous prototype for ‘mdm_daemon_load_config_file’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes] mdm_daemon_load_config_file (MdmConfig **load_config) ^
I tried then with
./autogen.sh --enable-ipv6=yes --with-prefetch CFLAGS="-Wno-format-security -Wno-missing-prototypes"
but that didn't help either. When I do a make I see that gcc is using (among other things just copied the interesting part)
-Wno-missing-prototypes -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Werror=missing-prototypes
so it is using both -Wno-missing-prototypes and -Werror=missing-prototypes which is probably what is causing it to malfunction.
