I'm trying to install Guacamole 1.4.0 on a 22.04 Ubuntu (running from a Virtual Machine) according to the following tutorial : Install and Use Guacamole on Ubuntu.

I'm stuck on Step 3: Build the Guacamole Server From Source, at the 6th Step.

When running the command make:

  • I encounter a all warning being treated as errors
  • Those warnings are -WError=deprecated-declarations
  • They appear in libguac_common_ssh_la-key.lo
  • Since OpenSSL 3.0 rsa_key is deprecated

I tried:

  • -Wno-deprecated : Doesn't change anything
  • Modifying the ./configure file
  • Checking for more updated versions (1.4.0 is the latest)

The solution seems to be here:

  • The GUACAMOLE-1602 is the same thing as I have
  • It is said "This has already been resolved. The line of code in question doesn't exist in the current source on git"

Questions:

  • How can I get the version that corrects this issue? I can't find it.
  • Do you have another solution to help?

    You should add the `-Wno-error` option to the compile line. This will turn warnings back into warnings, and not errors. It's pretty much always wrong to ship officially released packages with `-Werror` enabled. That's great for development, but it just causes pain for users of the release. – MadScientist Jan 03 '23 at 19:22

    "make -Wno-error" doesn't change anything, am I missing something? – arthemis235 Jan 03 '23 at 19:26

    I said "to the compile line" not to the make line. `-Wno-error` is an option to the compiler (GCC), not to make. You have to figure out what make variable(s) contain the compiler options. I don't know anything about this project, but if it follows the usual rules and conventions for source code releases, you should be able to use something like `make CFLAGS='-O2 -Wno-error'`. If it doesn't follow the usual conventions you'll have to either examine the makefile yourself to figure it out, or get advice from someone who knows about this particular source code (it's not a makefile issue). – MadScientist Jan 03 '23 at 20:33

    Thanks! The command `make CFLAGS='-O2 -Wno-error'` worked! – arthemis235 Jan 03 '23 at 21:57

You should install the guacamole server from the github repository instead. As the dev team precised here that they fixed the issue but they still have not updated the official release.
