Bug 272295 – net-analyzer/ettercap uses -Werror (with USE=debug maybe?)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description M Cordingley 2009-06-02 17:23:21 UTC]

gcc spits out a number of errors and then aborts the process:

ec_text.c: In function 'text_stats':
ec_text.c:468: error: format '%llu' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u_int64'
ec_text.c:468: error: format '%llu' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'u_int64'

ec_text_display.c: In function 'text_print_packet':
ec_text_display.c:57: error: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'regexec' differ in signedness


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set features="nostrip" CFLAGS to "-march=nocona -g2 -ggdb -O0 -pipe" and USE="debug" (all other use flags on, too)
2. emerge ettercap
3. watch it die

Actual Results:  
emake failed

Expected Results:  
compiled and installed normally

I have an installed copy of ettercap without the configuration settings described which crashes when I uncomment the iptables options in the conf file and try to start unified sniffing on device wlan0 in GTK mode.  I enabled these options to try to get a better trace on what was going on with the crashes, but I cannot compile it now.

This is due to -Werror usage upstream it seems to me...

[Comment 3 M Cordingley 2009-06-04 19:20:30 UTC]

Extra notes:  I killed the package-specific make.conf.  No change.  I flipped off the debug use flag...and it worked.  That flag seems to be the main determinant of whether it dies or not.

Thank you for report guys, but this bug was already repored and fixed some time ago.
