Re: MenuList Auto-Import Linking Error

[Scott Johnson <scottj cs umn edu>]

Hello again everyone:

Sorry about the late reply, I had to travel just after that last 
message, and haven't had a chance to get back to the list about this.  
My current binaries are:
2.8.8-2.

Is there a newer version out that fixes these issues? I tried adding 
--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc to the "Additional Linker Options" under 
the project's build options in Code::Blocks (the IDE that I use), but it 
doesn't seem to help.
