[Roadster] Issues compiling Roadster on Mac OS X: mainwindow.c throws "parameter name omitted" errors

[Matthew Vaughn]

Hello, Roadsters.

I've undertaken to build Roadster on Mac OS X 10.4.4 but have run  
into a roadblock (pun intended).

Just for reference, let me recapitulate what I've done so far.

My environment is Mac OS X 10.4.4. I have both gcc 3.3 and gcc 4.0.1  
installed and functional, as well as all requisite headers,  
libraries, and so on. I can usually get about anything to build using  
my current toolkit. My default compiler is gcc 4.01.

Since Roadster is a GNOME 2.x application, I used Darwinports to  
install (with some hiccoughs) GNOME 2.12 from source into /opt/local.  
After testing I was satisfied that I had a functional GNOME 2.12  
environment installed alongside Mac OS X, though scrollkeeper might  
have some issues.

I checked out the latest Cairo from CVS, built it, and installed it  
in /opt/local, which seemed to go alright. GNOME was still functional  
afterwards, so there didn't seem to be anything broken by doing this.

I built and installed libxml2-2.6.23 into /opt/local. It was actually  
already present via darwinports, but I decided to build it explicitly  
so avoid any weirdness.

Next, I built MySQL 5.0.18 with the embedded server option and  
installed it in /opt/local/mysql. The MySQL test suite ran  
successfully, so I assume libmysqld will be properly functional as well.

I grabbed the latest gpsd source, built it, and installed it in /opt/ 
local. It worked fine and was able to talk to my GPS on /dev/ 
cu.usbmodem1811

After this, I installed gnome-common, which does not come with the  
Darwinports gnome package, but is required to build roadster.

Next, I checked out roadster and tried to build it. I configured the  
build as such:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/local --with-mysql=/opt/local/mysql --with- 
gpsd=/opt/local

Now, the big Lebowsky.. "make"

make > make.log &

The process goes on for a minute or so then dies in mainwindow.c with  
the following trainwreck of errors:

mainwindow.c: In function  
'mainwindow_locationset_list_is_separator_callback':
mainwindow.c:506: error: parameter name omitted

make[2]: *** [mainwindow.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Dropping back to gcc 3.3 doesn't solve the problem. Since nobody  
building on Linux has reported this, my guess is (without looking  
carefully at the code) that there that Apple's gcc4 doesn't like  
what's being done here. Any suggestions about how to get around these  
errors?
