Hi, I have filed now: --with-system-readline uses bundled readline include files https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17077 To see any effect of the patch below you have to do: rm -rf readline Otherwise readline include files get used the bundled ones from GDB which are currently 6.2 while system readline may be 6.3 already. You also have to use system readline-6.3 including its upstream patch: [Bug-readline] Readline-6.3 Official Patch 5 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2014-04/msg00018.html Message-ID: <140415125618.AA57598.SM@caleb.ins.cwru.edu> In short it happens on Fedora Rawhide since: readline-6.3-1.fc21 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=538941 The error is: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/9890/7059890/build.log ../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:132:1: error: 'Function' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] static Function *tui_old_rl_getc_function; ^ ../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:133:1: error: 'VFunction' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] static VFunction *tui_old_rl_redisplay_function; ^ ../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:134:1: error: 'VFunction' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] static VFunction *tui_old_rl_prep_terminal; ^ ../../gdb/tui/tui-io.c:135:1: error: 'VFunction' is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] static VFunction *tui_old_rl_deprep_terminal; ^ It is since bash change: lib/readline/rltypedefs.h - remove old Function/VFunction/CPFunction/CPPFunction typedefs as suggested by Tom Tromey The new typedefs used below are present in readline/rltypedefs.h since: git://git.savannah.gnu.org/bash.git commit 28ef6c316f1aff914bb95ac09787a3c83c1815fd Date: Fri Apr 6 19:14:31 2001 +0000 Jan
