Re: [gpsd-dev] GPSD Compile warnings with GCC-8 on Devuan Beowulf

Mike, this should have been fixed in:

commit 71bd775bb579b8aabccfb6cd36a17a8281070829

    Fix a warning from gcc: vwprintw is deprecated

    The function vwprintw, declared in curses.h is called out by gcc
    because of its use of varargs.h .  The actaul implementation uses
    stdarg.h , however GCC does not know this.  Switch to the newer
    calling form to make gcc happy.

Gary, Eric

I got fed up with systemd entanglement on one of our
nameservers/timeservers today so flattened it and rebuilt it with Devuan
Beowulf (like Debian Buster but systemd free) - these OSes come with
GCC-8 which brings new compile warnings to an otherwise clean build:
