Trying to compile the newest fontforge

http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/

get mostly thru, then these two errors and she croaks

Code:

cc-3316 cc: ERROR File = cvexportdlg.c, Line = 252
  The expression must be a pointer to a complete object type.

      { (unichar_t *) N_("BMP"), NULL, 0, 0, (void *) BITMAP_FORMAT_START+1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 },
                                             ^

cc-3316 cc: ERROR File = cvexportdlg.c, Line = 254
  The expression must be a pointer to a complete object type.

      { (unichar_t *) N_("png"), NULL, 0, 0, (void *) BITMAP_FORMAT_START+2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 },

2 errors detected in the compilation of "cvexportdlg.c".
gmake[1]: *** [cvexportdlg.o] Error 2

Any hints ?

Over my head but at least I can email the author ... suggestions about what might be the problem area ? Fontforge is a pretty useful app, would be nice to have a newer version.

Before bothering the author with something he probably won't be able to reproduce, please try recompiling the whole thing with -O0 and -g in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, --enable-static, and mayvbe with python3 instead of 2.x. Then retry running it in a debugger, it might turn up some useful info, my backtrace above isn't.
