The result of make after creating the libintl.a & libiconv.a files: Creating library file: .libs/libgimpui-1.3.dll.a .libs/gimpui.o(.text+0x159):gimpui.c: undefined reference to `gimp_min_colors' .libs/gimpui.o(.text+0x170):gimpui.c: undefined reference to `gimp_install_cmap' .libs/gimpui.o(.text+0x1a4):gimpui.c: undefined reference to `gimp_gamma' ... and many more undefined references to 'gimp_...'. Would you mind sharing your libiconv.a and libintl.a - and the corresponding .def files?
