Suppress modpost warnings treated as errors












1















I'm trying to build linux external module. The module compiles ok with suppressed warnings (i.e. with compiler flags -Wno-pointer-sign and -Wno-unused-but-set-variable), but modpost fails (obviously, because there are warnings) with following message:
