[Gimp-print-devel] Compilation error (was: Andy or Mitch, please read the Help forum)

Hi everybody.

I'm the guy who posted on the help forum the following message :

Answering to rlk, I only had feed-back from him. As I have seen people
discussing on my problem on this mailing-list, I came here to speed-up
things, if possible. I have tried to play with the Makefile to have
the gtk version working (what follows is from memory, as I do not
write from the computer the experiments were made on). I removed what
concerned the object files gimp_color_window.o and gimp_main_window.o,
but the compilation of "print" failed during hte "link edition"
(sorry, do not know the english expression), because of functions like
"Image_init". The problem seems to come from the gimp libraries. The
commands "nm libgimp.a | grep Image_init" and "nm libgimpui.a | grep
Image_init" returned nothing. Am I doing something wrong here or is
this the expression of another gimp version compatibility problem ?
What is the name of the gtk version of the gimp-plugin ?  Any advice
will be appreciated...

If it can be of any help, I have seen in the archives that some folks
had the same problem than me
(http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/1249/2000/4/75/3592172/), and
that Dave Hill proposed some patch
(http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/1249/2000/4/75/3592764/).

Thanks in advance.

If I can be of any help to solve this compatibility problem (if it can
be solved whithout upgrading the Gimp)...
