smsd cannot compile without warning

[r . velder]

Hey people, 

First of all, have a happy and healthy 2006.
I'm having trouble compiling smsd on an opensuse system from gnokii 0.6.10. 
I allway get the folloeing warning...
---------------------------------------------------------
mysql.c: In function ‘DB_InsertSMS’:
mysql.c:106: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strlen’ 
differ in signedness
mysql.c:107: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strlen’ 
differ in signedness
mysql.c:107: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 
‘mysql_real_escape_string’ differ in signedness
mysql.c: In function ‘DB_Look’:
mysql.c:191: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 
‘__builtin_strncpy’ differ in signedness
mysql.c:195: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strlen’ 
differ in signedness
--------------------------------------------------
No other errors. The makefile is as follows. The result is an smsd which 
removes an incomming message from the phone and places is in the cache 
directory of playsms but it never places it into the mysql table. 

Could anyone give mea hint how to prevent te compiler error.
