[webkit-dev] Configuring for Clang

[Jeff Johnson]

Hi Mark.

You can use GCC_TREAT_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=NO to build successfully. See my bug:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76476

I'm not quite sure about the idea that "This cannot be an issue with WebKit source code because we successfully make nightly builds all the time." More accurate would be that they don't support your version of Xcode.
