I can confirm above problem with gcc version 8 on Buster (Raspberry Pi v1 B).
gcc have had some major upgrades from Jessie (v. 4.9.2), Stretch (v. 6.3) to eight now in Buster thus I guess wspr-code is pretty much untouched for several years. My workaround was to install the latest released Jessie-image (2017-07-05) and make the binary this way. Compiles without any warnings/errors::

pi@wspr:/GIT/WsprryPi $ make
cc -Wall -c mailbox.c
g++ -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG -std=c++11 -Wall -Werror -fmax-errors=5 -lm -DRPI1 mailbox.o wspr.cpp -owspr
g++ -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG -std=c++11 -Wall -Werror -fmax-errors=5 -lm -DRPI1 gpioclk.cpp -ogpioclk
pi@wspr:/GIT/WsprryPi $ sudo make install
install -m 0755 wspr /usr/local/bin
install -m 0755 gpioclk /usr/local/bin

It's a pretty easy fix, just missing a header. I've got a commit in my fork: gibmat@bd85459

Works for me also. Just recompiled with gibmat's fork using buster on Pi 4.

Hello, I have the same problem to install wsprryPi on Pi Zero W and raspbian buster.
Will it run when I do a new installation of an old jessie release?

Many thanks Mathais (gibmat).

I successfully applied your diff (gibmat@bd85459) and built wsprry!

cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model -> 'Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2'
cat /etc/os-release -> 'PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) ...'

Best,

Thanks @gibmat ! This worked!

Seeing as @JamesP6000 hasn't had any activity in this repo in almost four years, I'd consider it dead. It does look like @threeme3's repo (from which this one was originally forked) is a bit more active -- for one thing, a commit mentions support for the RPi4. There's also the explosion of forks, although I doubt many of them contain improvements.
