I've just successfully recompiled this package on a fresh Red Hat Linux 8.0 install, by taking the source code RPM package and doing: rpm --rebuild <packagename> It built successfully, and installed. I can only assume that you are not using the Red Hat supplied compiler, and are using some third party compiler, or you have modified the package(s) in some way that is incompatible. At any rate, this works for me. I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention that you need to supply compile flags "-g -O2 -Wall" to get the compiler to complain. My apologies for this - I've found so many bugs in Redhat Linux 8.0 (60+ so far) that I'm starting to get sloppy in reporting them. What does %r mean anyway ? The software compiles, does so properly, and when it is done compiling, it works, and works properly. The packages we ship are properly functional. Red Hat does not offer technical support via bugzilla, nor do we offer technical support to people recompiling the software we ship. If you have problems recompiling something, or questions about compiler warnings that you receive recompiling something, the proper place to ask these questions is on a mailing list of some kind. The best suggestion would be to get in contact with the upstream developers of the software you are trying to compile, and discuss the issue with their source code directly with them. Do not file technical support requests in bugzilla. Closing NOTABUG. |
Description of problem: Hello there, I just tried to compile package cdrtools-1.10-14 from Redhat 8.0. Here are some of the compiler messages. comerr.c:169: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format comerr.c:177: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format error.c:46: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format serrmsg.c:104: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format serrmsg.c:113: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format scsitransp.c:1290: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format cdda2wav.c:578: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format cdda2wav.c:604: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format io.c:205: warning: unknown conversion type character `r' in format Normally, I would have tried to supply a patch, but since both I and the compiler do not know what %r is supposed to mean, then I am unable to supply a patch in this case.
