[Mimedefang] Compiling MD on FC4 - warning: pointer targets difer in signedness

[Yizhar Hurwitz]

HI.

I'm getting warnings when running "make" to compile MimeDefang on Fedora Core 4.
I have done the following:
./configure (no problems)
make  (Here I get the warnings).

Here are some lines with warnings from the make command output:

md-mx-ctrl.c: In function ?percent_decode':                                    
md-mx-ctrl.c:71: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ?sscanf' dif
er in signedness

test "" != "1" && strip md-mx-ctrl                                             

More information:
------------------------
This is my first Mimedefang installation.
mimedefang version which I'm trying to install = 2.52
I am following the how to guide:
http://www.mickeyhill.com/mimedefang-howto
It is on a test machine (Virtual PC) with Fedora Core 4.
Sendmail is installed from RPM and running (version 8.13.4-2)
I have updated GCC and related packages from gcc 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 but it didn't change anything.
"make" version is 3.80
Other installed packages (most of them from RPM either FC4 cdrom or "yum"):
clamav-0.86.2-1
spamassassin-3.0.4-1.fc4
perl-5.8.6-15
Linux Kernel version = 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

Afterwards I did "make install" and it seemed to work fine,
but I don't know if it is OK or not.
I have not completed the installation and configuration yet so I don't know if it is actually working.

So, what can you tell me about these warnings:
pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ... differ in signedness
?

Thanks in advance.
