How to compile without warnings being treated as errors?

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 errors

Now, it's big code base and I don't like fix all the warnings.

Is there any way I can compile successfully in spite of the warnings?

Solution 1:

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

Solution 2:

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).

Solution 3:

Solution:

CFLAGS=-Wno-error ./configure

Solution 4:

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