Um... I suspect you had a slightly different problem when compiling
with GCC 4.6 which added a check for "unused but set" variables.
These warnings are slowly being fixed. In the meantime:
If you don't want to see the warnings, add the following to configure.in
at the appropriate place:
AC_WIRESHARK_GCC_CFLAGS_CHECK(-Wno-unused-but-set-variable)
If you are using -Werror then adding the following will allow use of GCC
4.6 to build Wireshark without the compile erroring out:
AC_WIRESHARK_GCC_CFLAGS_CHECK(-Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable)
In this case, unused-but-set is reported but treated as a warning even
if "treat all warnings as errors" (-Werror) is enabled.
(Q: When you say "everything works" with 4.5, does that mean that
compiling Wireshark with GCC 4.6 errored out ?
Does the Debian sid distribution provide Wireshark source configured to
use -Werror ??).
