Perhaps wrongly I've been using a module definition file when building
gtk-2-24 with MSVC (I'm saying "perhaps" because it used to be needed at
one time but maybe that eventually got superseded and I didn't notice...)
On 8th Jan, the following symbols got added to 'gtk/gtk.symbols' by
commit #331877fe36 (Fix abicheck):-
gtk_marshal_VOID__BOOLEAN
gtk_marshal_VOID__BOXED
gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM
gtk_marshal_VOID__INT
gtk_marshal_VOID__OBJECT
gtk_marshal_VOID__POINTER
gtk_marshal_VOID__STRING
gtk_marshal_VOID__UINT
gtk_marshal_VOID__VOID
Like I said, I'd always assumed that 'gtk.symbols' was needed for
generating a module definition file ('gtk.def') as that's generally what
a symbols file gets used for (with MSVC).
If the module definition file isn't needed any more, just ignore this
(gtk-2-24 seems to link okay without it). But if it _is_ still used,
MSVC now produces the following linker errors:-
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__BOOLEAN
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__BOXED
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__INT
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__OBJECT
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__POINTER
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__STRING
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__UINT
gtk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
gtk_marshal_VOID__VOID
Taking 'gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM' as an example, 'gtk/gtkmarshalers.c'
contains some variants - e.g.
gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM_BOOLEAN
gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM_ENUM
gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM_FLOAT
gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM_FLOAT_BOOLEAN
along with a few others- but I can't find one that's just called
'gtk_marshal_VOID__ENUM' (hence the linker error if it it gets included
in gtk.symbols).
Hope this all makes sense...
