What is the ... part?

There's no G_return_if_fail macro AFAIK, and there's not enough 
information above to tell the problem, compiler should give more context 
like "note: in expansion of macro here" or such.

If it's not ported yet, it probably won't compile, but if your goal is 
porting it to GTK+3, then the first step is getting it to build by 
resolving all the errors you find, which it sounds like you're starting 
in the right direction.
