Ben,

The geodesic.h I have looks like this:

#ifndef _IN_GEOD_SET
#  define GEOD_EXTERN extern
#else
#  define GEOD_EXTERN
#endif

GEOD_EXTERN struct geodesic {
	double	A;
	double	LAM1, PHI1, ALPHA12;
	double	LAM2, PHI2, ALPHA21;
	double	DIST;
	double	ONEF, FLAT, FLAT2, FLAT4, FLAT64;
	int	ELLIPSE;
} GEODESIC;

...

GEOD_EXTERN int n_alpha, n_S;
GEOD_EXTERN double to_meter, fr_meter, del_alpha;

The geod_set.c module define _IN_GEOD_SET before includes geodesic.h.  This
should make all definitions of this stuff use "extern" except in the
geo_set.c module where they would be defined.  If you don't have the same
code then you are using old PROJ.4 code.  Substantial effort has gone into
making the PROJ.4 code compile on a wide variety of operating systems
in recent years.

Best regards,
