compiling r5555 with warnings

[Richard-H]

After looking at the last build at:
http://terrastorage.ath.cx/oolite/status.html

if i look at the last build page r5555 was the last good build on the build machine but if i try it i have 2 warnings

I am running Linux slackware 13.37 with kernel 3.2.29

libs & versions

part of slackware :
GNU Objective-C compiler (gcc-objc) version 4.5.2
SDL development libraries 1.2.14
SDL_mixer
SDL_image

not part of the slackware distribution :
gnustep-make 2.4.0
gnustep-base 1.20.1
gnustep-gui 0.18.0
gnustep-back 0.18.0
portaudio pa_stable_v19_20071207
espeak 1.42
nspr 4.8.7

the warnings

Compiling file src/Core/Entities/ShipEntity.m ...
src/Core/Entities/ShipEntity.m: In function '-[ShipEntity firePlasmaShotAtOffset:speed:color:direction:]':
src/Core/Entities/ShipEntity.m:10394:17: warning: comparison between 'OOWeaponFacing' and 'enum <anonymous>'

and

Compiling file src/Core/Entities/OOFlasherEntity.m ...
src/Core/Entities/OOFlasherEntity.m: In function '-[OOFlasherEntity update:]':
src/Core/Entities/OOFlasherEntity.m:124:18: warning: operation on 'self->_activeColor' may be undefined


the strange thing is that except the slack native packages i used the extra packages for some time never had any problems with them and oolite.
I needed to upgrade my distribution because my old machine went up in smoke after a lighting strike


help

edit. to manny 5's in the subject line

The nightly builds are produced using GCC 4.2.4 on Linux. You are using version 4.5.2, which apparently catches some things better.

There are even more warnings reported if you build with GCC 4.7.x (mostly about variables being set but not used). We will look at all of them at some point but for now most of these warnings are pretty harmless. Possible exception is the one about the undefined operation on self->_activeColor.
