Hello list.
I hope this finds you well.
To follow up on the earlier point about the build problem space mapping,
below are a few issues that don't fail building and testing, but might
mean potential problems:
* Builds that use Autoconf 2.71 generate quite a number of Autoconf
warnings:
configure.ac:27: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_CC_C99' is obsolete.
configure.ac:27: You should run autoupdate.
./lib/autoconf/c.m4:1659: AC_PROG_CC_C99 is expanded from...
configure.ac:27: the top level
configure.ac:31: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_COMPILE' is obsolete.
configure.ac:31: You should run autoupdate.
(and so on)
* Builds that use CMake generate varying amounts of CMake warnings
depending on which CMake version it is. The most common one is this:
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:19 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future
version of CMake.
Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to
tell CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older
versions.
* libpcap Autoconf builds do not use correct compiler flags for XL C
(CMake is fine) on Linux:
/opt/ibm/xlC/16.1.1/bin/.orig/xlc: warning: 1501-269 fpic is not
supported on this Operating System platform. Option fpic will be
ignored.
/opt/ibm/xlC/16.1.1/bin/.orig/xlc: warning: 1501-269 fpic is not
supported on this Operating System platform. Option fpic will be
ignored.
(and so on)
