[Cced the public bug report.] Dear Manolo,
Debian has switched by default some compiler options to “harden” the programs it distributes. In my understanding, the goal is to reduce potential security breaches like buffer overflows etc. http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening Unfortunately, this makes SeaView fail with the following error: g++ -c -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall -DUSE_XFT -I/usr/include/freetype2 -DFLTK1 -Dunix -Icsrc -I. -DNO_PDF -Wl,--as-needed -DDEFAULT_HELPFILE=\"/usr/share/doc/seaview/seaview.html\" -DPHYMLNAME=\"phyml\" xfmatpt.cxx xfmatpt.cxx: In function 'void err_message(const char*)': xfmatpt.cxx:411:14: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security] xfmatpt.cxx: In member function 'virtual void matpt_panel::draw()': xfmatpt.cxx:646:21: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security] cc1plus: some warnings being treated as errors You can see the full build log at the following URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=seaview_4.3.0-1_amd64.build.gz;att=1;bug=648121 Do you think it would be easy for you to update SeaView in order to solve these errors ?
