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.

I am getting build failure repeatedly due to this annoying -Werror. Each time any warning appears in code, theĀ compilationĀ fails treating it as error, e.g.

/usr/src/svn-src/freeswitch/src/mod/applications/mod_voicemail_ivr/mod_voicemail_ivr.c:57:6: error: variable 'argc' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

In addition to what Tony said, this is a good reason to report bugs to jira.freeswitch.org. Also, just for reference, this particular module is not critical for FreeSWITCH to work - it was contributed by a community member (IRC: moc). Moc has A LOT of practice fixing his errors, so assign the bug to him. ;)

In the meantime you can exclude this module from being built just by editing modules.conf in your freeswitch source directory. In fact, it might be worth it for you to review which modules you are building by default. There may be modules you don't want or need that you can skip. This will make your builds go faster and you won't get tripped up by annoying errors on modules that you don't actually use.
