build fails with GCC 14 (-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types)

[anbe42]

GCC 14 has turned some warnings into errors by default.

First failure for 7.2.13:

Dksesstr.c: In function 'strses_chars_length':

We will have a look.

What version of Debian are you using?

Also be aware that 7.2.13 is the latest stable release of VOS.

Hi,

Same build issue here on Mageia Cauldron with latest 7.2.13 release!

A patch for this will be part of VOS 7.2.14 which will be released in the next week or so.
