Right now the only solution I found (short of fixing the > code...) is to patch Makefile.in but that does seem very robust. It depends on the specific package. For example GDB has --disable-werror: $ ./configure --help|grep werror --enable-werror treat compile warnings as errors Or if there is Makefile.am you should patch it instead of Makefile.in. If -Werror is contained in Makefile.in and there is no Makefile.am then your choice is the best way how to disable it (but you should fix the errors instead).
