Instead of ignoring the warnings, it would be better to write patches to
fix the warnings and send upstream, or find upstream fixes. There's no
WWW in pkg-descr, I'm not sure where this port comes from. Do you know?
Comment 3 Danilo Egêa Gondolfo 2013-06-05 05:30:12 UTC
I think they had good reasons to write this code.
For example, the warning:

plugin.c:436:8: error: explicitly assigning a variable of type 'struct 
ld_plugin_input_file *' to itself [-Werror,-Wself-assign]
   file = file;

On GCC, assign a function parameter to itself avoids the warning 
"warning: unused parameter 'file'". But the clang is generating another 
warning.

I think there is no problem with the "--disable-werror" in this case and 
the others warnings too.

What do you think?

About the WWW, I'll fix it.

I'll commit the --disable-werror for now to at least make it buildable
with clang. I still suggest contacting upstream and sending them patches
to make the code support both GCC and clang. They may already have
patches for this as well.

Just send another PR to update the WWW.

Thank you for your work on this.

New Revision: 320038
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/320038

Log:
  - Disable -Werror for now to fix clang building.
    Discussed with maintainer a more proper solution and
    to contact upstream. This at least allows clang to
    build for now.
