Package: libgtextutils
Severity: normal
(Report recorded on the Debian bug tracking system).
Dear Gordon,
while trying to build libgtextutils on Ubuntu, I faced another compilation
error, unrelated to the one I reported earlier.
Ubuntu treats the compiler warning “warn_unused_result” as an error. In
libgtextutils's /tests/test_pipe_fitter.c file, the return of the write()
function is ignored, triggering this error. I tried to silence it by adding
(void) in front of “write”, but this did not work. I then resorted by
inserting the command in a conditional that does nothing. This is unclean but
allowed me to compile libgtextutils on Ubuntu Natty.

I am not a C programmer. You probably have a better solution ?
Have a nice sunday,
