Thanks Claude!
I got lots of help from Matju on IRC so things are compiling.
I'm now getting a segfault when trying to access a member of the structure in the thread function:
#0 0xf7d531cb in strlen () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #1 0xf7d1f648 in vfprintf () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xf7d43e04 in vsnprintf () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #3 0x080c68d6 in post (fmt=0xf7f7db5a "My symbol: %s") at s_print.c:51 #4 0xf7f7d829 in mythread () from /home/bbogart/src/gphoto/src/pd-external/gphoto2.pd_linux
The way I'm trying to access the member is as follows:
post("My symbol: %s", ((struct floatArgStruct *)threadArgs)->s->s_name);
I've attached the full source.
All this typdef stuff is new to me, so I may have messed up something obvious.
Thanks, .b.

post("My symbol: %s", threadArgs.s->s_name); // line 92threadArgs is a pointer, '.' is only for structs/unions
try '->' instead of '.' to both dereference pointer and access member
