[GTK][jhbuild] OpenWebRTC build fails with GCC 6.0

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joanmarie Diggs]

It fails for a couple of reasons:
1. Misleading indentation (https://github.com/EricssonResearch/openwebrtc/pull/580)
2. Not an integer constant expression (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761119)

Instead of adding two patches, let's just remove the condition here so that we use -Wno-error always. Otherwise we're just going to need to patch this again due to whatever new compiler warning GCC or Clang introduces next year.

Actually, nowadays jhbuild passes -Wno-error to every module automatically, we can maybe just upgrade jhbuild. Joanie, since you have F24 already, want to test?

In Tools/jhbuild/jhbuild-wrapper, just change the jhbuild_revision line to something new (here I pick the latest commit, it might work) and remove the obsolete comment:

jhbuild_revision = '7a8490efbf497d04cfc244a2af0fc7361ad8dd17'

Then you can get rid of the manual -Wno-error passing in jhbuild.modules.

Ah, I didn't realize GStreamer depends on Objective C on Mac... in that case, you can get rid of these and set in in jhbuildrc like you did CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Probably with a comment to indicate the GStreamer dependency, else someone is liable to remove it cleaning up in the future.

I wouldn't leave this comment as it's not really related to any particular version of GCC; any new compiler will add new warnings, and if we use -Werror then that will cause the build to fail unnecessarily, it's clear enough we don't want that to happen.
