I look into this when I got the transition to 17.0 ready. It looks like an easy to fix bug, I encountered with 6.4.0 too but in different files.

fix abs error in >=gcc-6

This patch solves the compile issue with >gcc-6. It replaces the use of unsigned with int at places where abs is used.
But I don't know the exact impact on the library or existing applications, because I don't have a real world example application to test with. The patch also replaces the ${FILESDIR}/${P}-gcc6.patch file. The use of std::abs is no longer necessary.

I filed a bug upstream, see https://sourceforge.net/p/tvision/bugs/17/ but got no response yet.
Comment 10 Bernd 2018-10-18 18:25:34 UTC
Still no response from upstream, after 30 days.
