Calling modifiers of a deque by reference in a function produce MinGW64 compile errors

I'm passing a variable std::deque<cv::Point[4]> pastpolygons by reference. I'm also passing the C array cv::Point polygon[4] by reference to the same function. The intention is that the one function may push/pop the array into the deque of arrays as needed. I've written the code how I think it should work ( is there any other way to write code? ) and the compile errors are pretty verbose and hard to understand (it's several pages).

Here's the code:

void AveragePolygon ( cv::Point (*polygon)[4], std::deque<cv::Point[4]> *pastpolygons, int samplestokeep )
{
    //FIFO
    pastpolygons->push_back( *polygon );   //comment and compiles fine
    if ( pastpolygons->size() > samplestokeep ) {
        pastpolygons->pop_front();         //comment and compiles fine
    }
    return;
}

The parameter and argument syntax was particularly tricky, but it compiles so long as I don't try to call the modifiers of pastpolygons. I've also tried (*pastpolygons).push_back/pop_front instead, to no avail. Any ideas?

Also, the first bit of the compile errors:
