Good day,

Alright, my bad. After closer studying I realized I had misread where the 
defines were delimiting each function. :/ Sorry for the invalid report (and 
yes, I had other issues setting up and running the modules, but I was pretty 
sure the missing symbols were caused because of the define, which turned out to 
be false).

Cheers~
Walther.
