Deprecated code is code that has been removed or perhaps replaced with different functionality. Typically the way to correct this is to re-work the code so that you use newer APIs if the case is the latter.

Apparently the code that you have downloaded must be older code which was written against older APIs (Application Program Interface) or the person that wrote it was using an older compiler.

It seems that your compiler can handle the older code, provided you add the command line switch "-deprecation" which will allow it to compile that code without any warnings or errors about older code.
