I think it is a bug that --disable-error-checking disables warnings, but with a name like that, it is really hard to say what the option ought to do. I suggest filing a bug report and try to convince others that the ./configure option should not disable warnings (and should probably be renamed to match what it does). Meanwhile, you can * use CXXFLAGS (and possibly other ./configure variables) to manually disable -Werror (see ./configure --help) or * edit acinclude/compiler-flags.m4 (and possibly other files) to remove -Werror added by Squid (you will need to bootstrap and configure after that). Cheers, Alex.
