[Rhythmbox-devel] can't compile svn HEAD

[Jon <zymurgent gmail com>]

Ok, maybe a newbie question here, but I haven't yet found anything in archives, google etc., not specific enough for me to proceed anyway.

I'm unable to build using a fresh checkout from svn trunk, r6281.  I almost immediately get the error "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules" building in lib/.  Seems unhappy about G_LOCK and G_UNLOCK.

I begin with:

./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/rhythmbox --disable-scrollkeeper
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-python --prefix=$HOME/rhythmbox --disable-scrollkeeper
make

(I rerun configure because passing --enable-python to autogen breaks it.  It tries to use libtool before it generates it.)

Result from make:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
