Jinxed...

So I jinxed us last night when I stated that we have had no major hang-ups yet. Our first hang up has just occurred. We are trying to get the Gwibber library installed and are having problems finding the proper dependencies. After much trial and error we think we have all the dependencies but are running into a strange error during the make process. Here it is:

service.c: In function ‘_dbus_handle_service_interface_loading_started’:
service.c:1365: error: unused variable ‘reply’
service.c: In function ‘_dbus_handle_service_interface_loading_complete’:
service.c:1376: error: unused variable ‘reply’

Even more strange, initially this error was stemming from a couple lines in the 1200s. We ran make clean and tried make again and now these errors are occurring a little further down. Unfortunately the make clean command did not work for these. We have also tried commenting out the variables in the code but it generates a whole other set of issues so it appears these variables are being used???

We Googled this error but it returned nothing at all. So I decided to get on the Gwibber IRC channel a bit ago and post a question, hoping someone had seen this before. I did not receive any direct help to the issue but several people came back fairly quick with links to sites that may be helpful.

Title: CFLAGS - Gentoo Linux Wiki (at en.gentoo-wiki.com)

Getting ready to check these sites out now. These guys seem to think that ignoring the errors will work. Before posting the question I already tried running make with the -i flag and it did not work, the make process failed. I do not know what CFLAGS are so I am about to find out. Hopefully these will help!

Report on my findings later....
