Error: old-style function definition is not preceded by a prototype [-Werror,-Wstrict-prototypes] when compiling native code

[vishal-kvn]

Hi I am trying to compile the native code for KPL but I get the following error.

cd ~/amazon-kinesis-producer
git clone https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer.git
./bootstrap.sh

The ./boostrap.sh script fails at the build step of aws-sdk-cpp and returns the following error.

/Volumes/workplace/amazon-kinesis-producer/third_party/aws-sdk-cpp-build/.deps/build/src/AwsCCommon/source/posix/system_info.c:136:34: error: this old-style function definition is not preceded by a prototype [-Werror,-Wstrict-prototypes]

The proposed fix is in aws-c-common library as listed here - : https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-common/issues/729. I have tried a few different versions(1.7.365, 1.9.356, 1.9.0) of the aws-sdk-cpp package but that did not help. Any pointers for fix will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
