We did that once for our own application which is using gwlib.
Its just a lot of hand work and quite a few typecasts.
One problem spotted while doing that is that gwlib is never sure if
an octet from an octetstring should be considered a signed char or a
unsigned char. My personal view is that it should be considered
unsigned char as we often use raw bytes in octstr. This however means
that whenever you do something like
debug("xx",0,"This is a string %s",octstr_get_cstr(xyz));
you have to typecast it to:
debug("xx",0,"This is a string %s",(char *)octstr_get_cstr(xyz));
One thing which is new in GCC is that we have now 3 types of chars.
char (compiler default signedness)
unsigned char
signed char
And if the compiler default is signed char, you still get an error
when you assign a signed char to char.
Thats where 99% of the errors come from.

Hello,
I added the -Wall option to CFLAGS, and I add a lot of warnings. I
know this doesn't mean that there are errors, but it could hide
some. Maybe it would be nice to enable this flag and to try to
correct some of these warnings don't you think ?
