It says: cc1: all warnings being treated as errors. That makes warnings about deprecations pop up as errors, which then cancel the compilation process.
How can I fix the use of deprecated code or alternatively: Can I somehow savely ignore these and continue compiling despite usage of deprecated code?
System Info
Ubuntu 17.04
G-Wrap version: 1.9.15
GCC version: gcc (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu3.2) 7.2.0
Guile version: 2.2.3

Answer 1

I am trying to compile G-Wrap .... g-wrap-1.9.15.tar.gz
"g-wrap-1.9.15" : sudo apt install g-wrap
If you really want to build it, install the default guile-2.0.13: sudo apt install guile-2.0-dev ... I.e. g-wrap is too old (2016) to use guile-2.2 .
cd g-wrap-1.9.15/
./configure
make // no errors
