Yes, I have accidentally pushed a change that should go as part of bigger pack. Will revert this.

Great can test the revert when you post it

Hello Guys,

Is it safe to compile the tacplus with -Werror supressed?

[alextomko]

I am also seeing this issue suddenly now on Debian 9. I have not had any issues for several years until recently.

[alextomko]

How would you compile with Werror suppressed?

[alextomko]

Hello - I was able to edit the Makefile and remove Werror from this line: AM_CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra -Werror I then ran the make install and it installed and is working. Is this OK to do or will it cause other issues?

Any feedback about this issue? Getting the same error on CentOS 7.6
