Description

Running
./bootstrap
./configure
./make

fails on Ubuntu (my system is a fairly old 9.x Karmic but it has been reported on later versions too)

The failure is due to "declared with attribute warn_unused_result" in a few places and the fact that warnings are treated as errors.

One solution suggested by Peter Fetterer, Brandon Pederson and Ilya Haykinson is to do

./configure --disable-warnings

However Cajus Pollmeier has produced a patch:

https://github.com/cajus/qpid-cpp-debian/blob/master/debian/patches/fix-unused.patch

That actually fixes the four files that don't use the return value. I've applied this to my install and it works nicely.

In addition to the make problem 0.12 was unable to "make install", there was clearly a library dependency and libtool barfed.

Ilya Haykinson suggested running

export LDFLAGS=-L`dirname $(pwd)`/cpp/src/.libs

prior to ./configure and this works beautifully.

Ilya actually produced some very nice build instructions and it might be useful if these could be included in the README.txt in future releases to help others with installation issues.
