I finally had time to try again, and after some head scratching and Makefile.am munging, succeeded. I built all the libraries that get built as shared libraries on Unix as DLLs, while Hans's MSVC Makefiles build many (most?) as static libraries. Any accidental breakage of Unix builds should be relatively easy to fix. The gimp.sym file seemed to have obsolete contents. I replaced it with the functions used by libgimptool and libgimpwidgets. I had to add a "glue" file for libgimptool, to enable the dynamic linking to the main executable, either gimp.exe or tool-safe-mode.exe (?). Building the plug-ins, and a closer inspection of what works and what is broken will have to wait until next week. I'm leaving for a short vacation tomorrow. --tml
