How to compile without warnings being treated as errors?

Question

The problem is that the same code that compiles well on Windows, is unable to compile on Ubuntu. Every time I get this error:

cc1: warnings being treated as          


        

Answer 1

Remove -Werror from your Make or CMake files, as suggested in this post

Answer 2

Solution:

CFLAGS=-Wno-error ./configure

Answer 3

If you are compiling linux kernel. For example, if you want to disable the warning that is "unused-but-set-variable" been treated as error. You can add a statement:

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable,)

in your Makefile

Answer 4

-Wall and -Werror compiler options can cause it, please check if those are used in compiler settings.

Answer 5

Sure, find where -Werror is set and remove that flag. Then warnings will be only warnings.

Answer 6

You can make all warnings being treated as such using -Wno-error. You can make specific warnings being treated as such by using -Wno-error=<warning name> where <warning name> is the name of the warning you don't want treated as an error.

If you want to entirely disable all warnings, use -w (not recommended).
