I'm afraid the compiler is probably correct in this case.
The code that is having trouble compiling uses the label "strchr" as a
variable name.
This is a VERY bad idea, since many C libraries contain a routine
called "strchr", and many header files (including ximcompat.h in the
xim sources) do "#define strchr index" to avoid problems.
I suggest you change the code so that it uses a different variable
name, and forward your patch back to the authors of the code.
