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).
