Compilation Warnings

[Karate Chris]

I've had this ever since I started compiling GZDoom. Whenever I compile the renderer I get lots of warnings. Here is a small part of the log:

They don't seem to do anything but they are a little bit of an annoyance. Does anyone know what I need to do to stop these warnings from showing? I'm using Windows XP and compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.

[Nash]

Same here. But it doesn't seem to affect the final output.

I've been successfully compiling modified versions of GZDoom for many months with those warnings.

But yeah, it'd be nice to find out what's really going on though.

[TheDarkArchon]

HEH, it seems VC++ 2005 doesn't like its own header files.

[Graf Zahl]

These warnings should be switched off in the project files.
Still, deprecating standard ANSI functions is a stupid action in my book.

[Nash]

These warnings should be switched off in the project files.

How would I go about doing that in the IDE?

[Torr Samaho]

These warnings should be switched off in the project files.

How would I go about doing that in the IDE?

Add /wd4995 to the compiler options.

[Karate Chris]

Which option is it that I need to switch off?
