warning: ISO C does not permit named variadic macros
 

Hi all,
after a great deal of trouble I managed to get directFB to cross compile for a ARM. However when I try to use it in my code all the libs seems OK (eg if I use the -ldirectfb etc) in my makefile they link, however when I include the directfb.h in my headers I get a large number of errors
most are
warning: ISO C does not permit named variadic macros

eg
/root/DirectFBArm/staging/usr/include/directfb/direct/messages.h:96:17: warning: ISO C does not permit named variadic macros

and a large number of
/root/DirectFBArm/staging/usr/include/directfb/direct/clock.h:34: error: ISO C++ does not support 'long long'

I compiled both libs and my example with the same compiler ARM 4.3 version.
Can anyone advise what to do? Is there a switch I can add to my makefile?
Thanks :)

PS I've tried -std=c99 which does appear to fix the long long but not the variadic

this could be a compiler bug;

Using an "arm-gcc-4.3" :

If the code you compile is from before 2008,
it may need a fix for gcc-4.3 .
Or use "arm-gcc-4.1" or --gcc-3.x ,
depending on the code age.

You might want to read the gcc porting guide
to gcc 4.3

and to gcc 4.4

Thanks all, I'll give them a try. I've found that dropping --padantic works, but am not happy doing this
