FTBFS with gcc 4.4 with error "invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'"

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

Binary package hint: hammerhead

Hi,

This package needs to be patched to compile with gcc 4.4, with hardened mode:
g++ -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DHAMMER_VSN=\"2.1.3\" -c -D_REENTRANT -DLinux -g -Wall -I/usr/include/openssl -I/usr/include config.cc -o obj/Linux/config.o
config.cc:64: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
config.cc:64: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
config.cc:64: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
config.cc: In function 'int ParseIPNumber(const char*, int*, int*)':
config.cc:94: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'
make[3]: *** [obj/Linux/config.o] Error 1

Thanks,

debdiff with the fix to the package. No patch system has been added as Debian maintainer is already doing changes directly in the source

This bug was fixed in the package hammerhead - 2.1.3-9ubuntu1

---------------
hammerhead (2.1.3-9ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * src/config.cc: fix a FTBFS by copying the const char * to a char *
    variable before using it (LP: #434752)
  * src/cmdline.cc: added header of cstdio to fix a compilation error with
    gcc 4.4
