Can anyone suggest what may be cause of this error building Zoneminder 1.24.4 in Mageia x86_64?

zm_rtsp.cpp: In member function ‘virtual int RtspThread::run()’:
zm_rtsp.cpp:314:9: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments

The source at zm_rtsp.cpp:314 is :-

Code: Select all

    catch( const Exception &e )
    {
        Error( e.getMessage().c_str() );                         // line 314
        return( -1 );
    }

Its probably a security catch:) It should be:
Error( "%s", e.getMessage().c_str() );

Thanks for answering - I suspect you saw my IRC request looking down the nicks

I just discovered the reason and patched it along with two more in zm_signal.cpp and it now almost builds.
I came back to delete my original post and found your reply.
I am attempting to package ZM for Mageia, but I'm a novice packager so it will be a long haul.
