Error during phase build of metacity

[jvalenzani]

Throws this error when building under Ububtu 9.04 (Jaunty).

core/main.c: En la función ‘sigterm_handler’:
core/main.c:380: error: se descarta el valor de devolución de ‘write’, se declaró con el atributo warn_unused_result

Now that a release of metacity contains the patch we wanted, may be better to use a tarball instead of HEAD.

Replying to tomeu:

Now that a release of metacity contains the patch we wanted, may be better to use a tarball instead of HEAD.

Using a tarball increases the maintenance effort as I need to track upstream releases. We are using distro packages on recent enough distros (Debian, Ubuntu 9.10+; F12+ will follow once the build finishes successfully on my test VM), though.

The Ubuntu 9.04 buildslave  doesn't encounter this issue anymore, so closing as fixed. jvalenzani, if it still happens for you, please reopen.
BTW: Please always post program output in english ("export LC_ALL=C"). I couldn't understand the error message you posted, but fortunately the build slave  encountered the same issue (the function name was the same).
