[Freeswitch-users] Annoying error while compiling FreeSWITCH

[Muhammad Shahzad]

Thanks both of you. I will practice it in the future.

BTW i did get a way around the problem. That is after running bootstrap.sh,
i edited configure file and changed all -Werror to -Wall, and then run
configure script and everything worked fine. Not a recommended practice but
a tip for desperate ones at desperate times, like me last night.

Thank you.
