Errors in build process in Ubuntu Focal Fossa #14

Closed Xliff closed 4 years ago

Xliff commented 4 years ago

I am getting an error when attempting to build for Linux x64 under Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04:

In file included from ../../../../jsrc/f.c:6:
../../../../jsrc/j.h:102:25: error: ‘__builtin___sprintf_chk’ may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
  102 | #define FMTI            "%lli"
      |                         ^~~~~~

what's the version of your compiler?

I think this warning is false positive, the line might had been there for 2 decades already and never had any issue with other versions of compilers. please add try adding -Wno-format-overflow to cflags.

@bilam - Thank you for the suggestion! I will report back my findings.

@bilam: Was able to successfully build adding that flag to all of the build scripts in make2/

Thanks!
