You are declaring a variable (vtx1) in the middle of a function, and you
can't do that in C. Solutions:

- move the definition to the top of your function

- compile as C++ instead (rename the file from .c to .cpp)

- make a local scope block containing the V3D_f structures and the call 
  to quad3d_f(), by enclosing that chunk of code in braces. Ugly, but it
  works...
