nm is in general the wrong tool to use for DLLs. What you are interested in is what symbols are exported from or imported into a DLL. That is what the error message above refers to. What nm is displaying, I think, are debugging symbols which are entirely optional and can be stripped from the DLL with no effect on its behaviour (except that it makes debugging harder, of course). Use objdump -p and look for the import and export tables, which are what actually direct how a DLL interacts with executables that load it and with any other DLLs that it in turn depends on. Your problem seems to be that you have a libpangocairo DLL that is built with the fontconfig(+freetype)-based pango backend (i.e. a libpangocairo as typically used on X11), while your libcairo DLL does not have the freetype font backend (but presumably just the win32 one, which is all that gtk+ and pango normally need on Windows). Some serious confusion is going on... --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
