Hello all,

I'm trying to compile wireshark 1.99+ from git and have a few issues while doing so.
The first issue was mentioned elsewhere on the mailing list already (removing -Wc++-compat).

The second error however I don't see mentioned anywhere and occurs only when compiling wireshark-qt:

In file included from ../../image/about.rcc.cpp:9:0:
../../image/about.rcc.cpp:1627:44: error: ‘qInitResources_about__init_variable__’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]
Q_CONSTRUCTOR_FUNCTION(QT_MANGLE_NAMESPACE(qInitResources_about))

../../image/about.rcc.cpp:1627:24: note: in expansion of macro ‘QT_MANGLE_NAMESPACE’
Q_CONSTRUCTOR_FUNCTION(QT_MANGLE_NAMESPACE(qInitResources_about))

The config.log file (building most recent git version, tried 1.99.9 as well with the same result).

Any ideas on what causes this?

Kind regards,
