I am trying to compile eSpeak for a related project but getting this error after running the make command.

tr_languages.cpp:201:43: error: narrowing conversion of ‘194’ from 
‘int’ to ‘char’ inside { } [-Wnarrowing]
const char string_ordinal[] = {0xc2,0xba,0};  // masculine ordinal 
character, UTF-8
                                       ^
tr_languages.cpp:201:43: error: narrowing conversion of ‘186’ from     
‘int’ to ‘char’ inside { } [-Wnarrowing]
Makefile:102: recipe for target 'tr_languages.o' failed
make: *** [tr_languages.o] Error 1

I searched about it and it appears that here the declaration of

const char string_ordinal[] = {0xc2,0xba,0};

should have been

const signed char string_ordinal[] = {0xc2,0xba,0};

Since the source code is large to change, is there any other way to compile it successfully?

I am using gcc version 6.2.0 20161005 (Ubuntu 6.2.0-5ubuntu12)

you mean unsigned char right? anyway, compiler tells you how to turn off the warning: `-Wno-narrowing` – Jean-François Fabre Oct 22 '16 at 17:04
Or use `-funsigned-char` to make chars unsigned – Andrey Turkin Oct 22 '16 at 17:18
Is it fixed? I am facing the same problem – Raven Cheuk Jun 19 '21 at 14:13
After digging around, I fixed it by changing that line to `const char string_ordinal[] = {(char)0xc2,(char)0xba,0}; // masculine ordinal character, UTF-8` – Raven Cheuk Jun 19 '21 at 14:33
