compiling aircrack-ng with gcc 4.5 prints warning "array subscript is below array bounds"

[jensp]

When compiling aircrack-ng 1.1 (same problem with current svn r1740) with GCC 4.5 the following warning occurs:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.5.0 -g -W -Wall -Werror -O3 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REVISION=0  -Iinclude   -c -o aircrack-ng.o aircrack-ng.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
aircrack-ng.c: In function ‘do_wpa_crack’:
aircrack-ng.c:4189:8: error: array subscript is below array bounds
make[1]: *** [aircrack-ng.o] Error 1

Downgrading GCC to 4.4 or removing -Werror from the CFLAGS works around the problem.

I have a same problem with the sources from oficial site (aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz).
Distro is openSUSE 11.3 (x64).

I also get this error but following the solution of OP, I edited common.mak and removed the -Werror flag. Ugly but it works.

Should be fixed by r1789.

I had the same problem and also solved it by editing common.mak and removing the line with the -Werror flag.

[misterx]

Did you try the svn version?
