Re: MenuList Auto-Import Linking Error

["Cedric Gustin" <cedric gustin gmail com>]

Hi Scott,

Could you please give us the version of gtkmm you use: my latest
binaries gtkmm-2.8.8-2 ?
Those problems should have been fixed in the latest release but one
particular case of bad auto-import might have been skipped.

Anyway, if you are really in a hurry for you project, try to add

-Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc

to the gcc options at link time. No modification to your code is necessary.
