Request Help with: Error During make of libgpg-error-1.36 with compiling gpg-error.c

[Rey Abeleda]

Hello,

After a successful ./configure of libgpg-error-1.36, the subsequent make failed with the error below.

I had a look inside the source src/gpg-error.c in the vicinity of lines 497 to 501. Below is a code snippet. I am not a C developer but it seems to me that the 4th call to ARGPARSE_c below which I've highlighted in RED is incorrect C code.

  +480  main (int argc, char *argv[])
  +481  {
  +482    enum { CMD_DEFAULT     = 0,
  +483           CMD_LIB_VERSION = 501,
  +484           CMD_LIST,
  +485           CMD_DEFINES,
  +486           CMD_LOCALE,
  +487           OPT_DESC
  +488    };
  +489    static gpgrt_opt_t opts[] = {
  +490      ARGPARSE_c (CMD_LIB_VERSION, "lib-version",
  +491                  "Print library version"),
  +492      ARGPARSE_c (CMD_LIST, "list",
  +493                  "Print all error codes"),
  +494      ARGPARSE_c (CMD_DEFINES, "defines",
  +495                  "Print all error codes as #define lines"),
  +496      ARGPARSE_c (CMD_LOCALE, "locale",
  +497  #if HAVE_W32_SYSTEM
  +498                  "Return the locale used for gettext"
  +499  #else
  +500                  "@"
  +501  #endif
  +502                  ),
  +503      ARGPARSE_s_n (OPT_DESC, "desc",
  +504                    "Print with error description"),
  +505      ARGPARSE_end()
  +506    };
  +507    gpgrt_argparse_t pargs = { &argc, &argv };

Would appreciate any advise on how to fix this error.
Thanks,
