troubleshooting

In case of the following error occurred,

 
segment.c:1330:10: error: comparison of array 'st->seg' equal to a null pointer is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
if (st->seg == NULL) return;
~~~~^~~ ~~~~
1 error generated.
make: *** [segment.o] Error 1

just remove -Werror in the Makefile at this line:

 
definedForAll = -Wall -Wextra -Werror -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
