So I took out the SUP_ARCH lines and did a build with both libcdada-0.3.4 and libcdada-0.3.5 and got the same error with both.

The log for the 0.3.4 version is at the end of this email.

There is a line about all warnings being treated as errors and searching on that it seems that might be a consequence of GCC 11. My internet search seemed to indicate that will happen with GCC 11 if you have Werror in the flags and that is present in both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. The suggestion in those posts I read was to remove the Werror entry from the two sets of flags but as I am not experienced with those types of things I thought I would ask here.

The actual error or warning appears to be related to a variable that is being flagged that it might exceed the maximum object size. You can find the error message near the end of the log below.

There were also a lot of warnings in the autogen.sh part of the build with obsolete macros being flagged up and suggestion to run autoupdate. I tried putting that after the autogen.sh line but it made no difference to the error that stopped the build, although it might be good to also have in place.

Any suggestions for things to try out will be gladly welcomed.

Regards,

Adolf.
