CentOS - Feb 2017 - Trick to compile older packages

I am trying to add a package (I know its older - but it should work)
gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8 to CentOS 7.
The gstreamer 0.10 packages are included in C7 and they compile just fine.

When I extract and try to compile gst-rtsp-server 0.10.8 the ./configure
goes fine.
but the make results in errors:

make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/silentm/LayeredSolutions/webkit-0.10/gst-rtsp-server-0.10.8.2'

Making all in rtsp-server

How to I get this package to compile just like the gst-plugins (bad, good,
base) 0.10 for C7?

I was trying to look at the spec file for the other packages - but I dont
see the trick.

Any pointers?

So, the root of this problem is building old code against a new glib2,
without updating the code. But it _looks_ like this should just be a
warning, and has been promoted to an error. Are you building with
-Werror?
