[tbox-l] Problems with glade_xml_signal_autoconnect()

[Joel W. <jwh...@us...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the glade_xml_signal_autoconnect() function that comes
with libglade to automatically join signals listed in a glade-2 generated
XML file back to their appropriate signal handling callback functions. It
does this by looking up these symbols in the parent binary file's symbol
table. I put together a small code example and it runs and compiles fine on
Linux, but fails to match up any signals with the callback functions on
AIX.

I've seen online in a few places that I need to use the --export-dynamic
flag, but gcc complains that this is an invalid flag during both compiling
and/or linking. Some places say that extern "C" is needed, but since I'm
using the gcc (C) compiler, and not g++ (C++), this should not be necessary
(and the compiler wont compile it anyway).

I've posted a bug at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1186038&group_id=128955&atid=712808.
 It has compiler flags and sample source listed.
But I know that AIX can be picky when it comes to sharing or exporting
symbols. Has anyone out there gotten this to work? Maybe there is something
extra that I need to do to make this work that I'm currently overlooking?

Thanks,

Joel Wheeler
