C++ / OpenGL: Texture to pixmap example - narrowing conversion error

I am trying to run this texture to pixmap example from OpenGL and get the following error

tex_to_pix.cpp:40:1: error: narrowing conversion of ‘4294967295u’ from ‘unsigned int’ to ‘int’ inside { } [-Wnarrowing]

The error refers to the following code block of the example:

const int pixmap_config[] = {
    GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGBA_EXT, True,
    GLX_DRAWABLE_TYPE, GLX_PIXMAP_BIT,
    GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_TARGETS_EXT, GLX_TEXTURE_2D_BIT_EXT,
    GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER, False,
    GLX_Y_INVERTED_EXT, GLX_DONT_CARE,
    None
};

What is the reason for this error?

Is it a compiler or c++11 problem?

Is there a way i can either make my compiler ignore -Wnarrowing or make a safe conversion?
