Have a great day!

Nicolas,

Actually I do have a suggestion that may help. You can do a type cast in the C program source code to work around the error. I am attaching a git diff that you can apply to do this.

This is not a proper fix for the source code, but the issue has no functional impact, so if you patch it like this you should be able to complete your VM build.

Hi Nicolas,

Welcome to VM building :-)

You are not doing anything wrong. The two errors in your log show up as warnings, not errors, when I compile the VM. That probably means two things:

1. There very likely is an existing problem in the source code that should

be addressed.

2. Your compiler is choosing to treat this as an error, rather than a

warning. Over time we are seeing compilers becoming more strict about enforcing rules like this, so it may be that your system has a newer compiler, or that it is somehow configured by default to use more strict rule enforcement.

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the follow up. Now that you have gotten through the annoying setup chores, you can start experimenting and having some fun with it :-)

Hi again! Just a little update! I managed to make it work!! Your patch helped a lot to move forward, but still had some issues. So I decided to create an Ubuntu VirtualBox with the dependencies from the HowToBuild file and it worked like a charm!

Thank you very much for your help! Nicolas.
