[Evolution] oaf compilation

[Sejal Patel <sejal iname com>]

Hey guys,
  I've checked out the latest oaf today and tried compiling it and noticed
a configuration problem.

checking for ORBit - version >= 0.5.1... no

So when I looked in the log I saw this was the problem

configure:2739: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -Wall -Wno-uninitialized
-Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith    -Wno-sign-compare -Wsign-promo
-Werror -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/include   conftest.c  -L/usr/lib
-lORBit -lIIOP -lORBitutil -lglib -lnsl -lm 1>&5

int main() {
 return ((orbit_major_version) || (orbit_minor_version) ||
(orbit_micro_version)); 
; return 0; }

I'm using kernel 2.2.14 and gcc 2.95.2 and it seems that if I remove the
-Werror option (the option to treat all warnings as errors) it works
fine.  So anyway, I'm wondering why I am even getting these warnings
and/or if there is a way to fix this.
