How do I work around the GCC “error: cast from ‘SourceLocation*’ to ‘int’ loses precision” error when compiling cmockery.c?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4586808/how-do-i-work-around-the-gcc-error-cast-from-sourcelocation-to-int-loses-p.
But here's a summary to spare you the trouble of reading all the
detail (unless you think you can help):
I need to add unit tests using Cmockery to an existing build
environment that uses as hand-crafted Makefile. So I need to figure
out how to build cmockery.c (without automake). But when I compile
cmockery.c, I get a long list of errors like:
../cmockery-0.1.2/cmockery.c: In function ‘void
initialize_source_location(SourceLocation*)’:
../cmockery-0.1.2/cmockery.c:248: error: cast from ‘SourceLocation*’
to ‘int’ loses precision
I (of course) don't get these errors when I build cmockery-0.1.2 using
`./configure` and `make`.
How do I work around these errors?

Looks like you're project is using some compiler options to turn this warning
into an error. This should be patched and a patch for this has been posted
some time ago.
I'm currently trying to figure out is there is still a developer or
maintainer. If not I would like to do that in future.
Cheers,

Are you compiling for a 64-bit platform? Looks like it to me based on the error message.
cmockery doesn't support 64-bit platforms without gcc warnings, and I think it doesn't functionally support either LP64 or LLP64 (I forget which).
We have a reworked version that is 64-bit clean, but we haven't released it yet. Unfortunately it requires some changes to the cmockery API.
Best regards,

No, although that will probably hold up merging the code into cmockery mainline.
Mostly, I have yet invest the time to get formal approval from our legal department. I do have agreement in principle from my management to release the code. Partly, I haven't tested it on Windows yet (though it should work there).
I'll start the legal machinery in motion to get the code released.
