Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> Date: Thu Apr 8 11:50:30 2021 +0100 meson: don't probe for -Werror if --werror is enabled Builds are failing in Fedora Rawhide at the moment because of a warning being turned into an error. Fedora's spec file has this which is supposed to turn off -Werror, but it no longer works after the above commit was added. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvirt/blob/rawhide/f/libvirt.spec#_189 I'm trying to understand how you're supposed to turn off -Werror. According to meson documentation omitting --werror should work. According to some different docs, use --werror=false. Neither are working for me. I'm actually wondering if the commit above is wrong.

I don't believe that commit made a difference. Prior to that commit, libvirt would always add Werror if biulding from git, even if meson had already added Werror, causing a warning from meson. Now we only add Werror if building from git and meson has not already added Werror itself.

Normally -Dwerror=false would be sufficient for building from the tarball, but in the RPM we're using git to manage patches, so we need both options: -Dwerror=false -Dgit_werror=disabled Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
