6.8.0 fails to compile on Arch

[felixonmars]

I am getting the following build error when trying to compile the latest 6.8.0 release:

../src/inspector_agent.cc: In function 'void node::inspector::{anonymous}::SendProtocolJson(node::inspector::InspectorSocket*)':
../src/inspector_agent.cc:179:32: error: invalid conversion from 'const uint8_t* {aka const unsigned char*}' to 'Bytef* {aka unsigned char*}' [-fpermissive]
   strm.next_in = PROTOCOL_JSON + 3;
                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~

Out of curiosity, which compiler and compiler version?

/cc @nodejs/v8-inspector

[felixonmars]

The compile is g++ (GCC) 6.2.1 20160830

Fixed by #9077

[felixonmars]

I have applied the patch in #9077, and the build went on. Thank a lot!

Lets keep this open until the PR lands.

Same on NixOS (NixOS/nixpkgs#19481, NixOS/nixpkgs#19510). Fixed the issue, thank you!

Same on RHEL6

Closing as the latest 6.8.1 release has addressed it.
