Description Jan Pazdziora 2006-07-13 13:01:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

While compiling procmail, I received multiple warnings like

../config.h:3:43: warning: "/*" within comment
../config.h:4:43: warning: "/*" within comment
../config.h:36:43: warning: "/*" within comment
../config.h:37:51: warning: "/*" within comment
../config.h:81:26: warning: "/*" within comment
../config.h:82:26: warning: "/*" within comment
../config.h:89:29: warning: "/*" within comment
../config.h:130:34: warning: "/*" within comment

which made unnecessary noise and made debugging of other code harder.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.22

How reproducible:

Build the rpm from src.

Actual results:

Warnings.

Expected results:

Less warnings.

Adding -Wno-comment to CFLAGS is probably a better way how to avoid these
warnings when debugging. Closing WONTFIX.
