Thanks, Bill. That makes sense. Let's see if I understand this correctly: app/core/gimpimage.c defines the function gimp_image_parasite_list, which actually implements the functionality of getting a list of parasites. libgimp/gimpimage.c also defines a function called gimp_image_parasite_list, which tries to retrieve a list of parasites; this is what should be used by the plugins. However, this function tries to call a function called gimp_image_get_parasite_list, which doesn't exist. Hence the "undefined references" I'm getting. tools/pdbgen/pdb/image.pdb defines a function called gimp_image_get_parasite_list, which calls the function gimp_image_parasite_list. I assume this is supposed to reference the version in app/core/gimpimage.c The thing I don't understand is how this can possibly compile at all? I'm only getting the errors if I add functions to image.pdb. If I leave image.pdb as it comes from git, everything compiles. The other thing I'm not sure about is whether the code I described above can even work. Can there be functions with the same name defined in app/core, in libgimp, and in pdb?
