Hi Hilmar, The easiest fix is to replace the following line in debian/rules:
cc -Wall -g -O2 -o build/wftodm wftodm.c with: cc -ansi -g -O2 -o build/wftodm wftodm.c It works under GCC 14 as well. The "wftodm" binary is only used during build time to build AFM and PFA fonts; it is not shipped to the end user of the package. So IMHO this easy fix is enough. What do you think? If you agree, I will upload the change to Salsa. Regards, -- Danai On Thu, 1 Aug 2024 at 18:36, Danai SAE-HAN <danai.sae...@gmail.com> wrote: > Okelidokeli.
