This should most likely be posted to gtk-app-devel-list but from looking
at your code if you are compiling with a c compiler the lines:

winuz[k][l] = FALSE;
int m = g_random_int_range ((guint)0, (guint)63);
int n = 0;

would be completely wrong because you should only be able to declare a
variable at the beginning of a code block.  Later GNU compilers may just
warn you and C++ allows you to do this but in standard C this is an
error.  It is good habit anyway if you want to port to other platforms
that run Gtk apps.

So changing the above lines to read:

int m = g_random_int_range ((guint)0, (guint)63);
int n = 0;
winuz[k][l] = FALSE;

should fix your first error.  I suspect the other stuff is just caused
by gcc getting confused after the first error.

Also next time you post error output please post the code with line
numbers.
