glib-2.12.12 build problem - gparamspecs.c

["Barnes, James R. (LARC-D107)[ARINC]" <james r barnes nasa gov>]

I’m trying to build a version of glib and gtk to match a gtkmm version on a different system.  The target system is using the Mips-pro version 7.4.4m. When I run ./configure on glib-2.12.12 and or glib-2.12.13 I get the following error when it tries to build gparamspecs.c:

cc-1028 cc: ERROR File = gparamspecs.c, Line = 1478

  The _expression_ used must have a constant value.

 

        value_type,             /* value_type */

        ^

 

1 error detected in the compilation of "gparamspecs.c".

 

I also tried to compile glib-2.12.0 and got a bunch of errors in different files.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks
