gimp - the wire protocol

Hi all,

I am not sure if I am posting in the right group, I apologize if I am not.

I am trying to develop a plugin for gimp (a helloworld in gimp2.6.11 in Win) in C/asm and I am testing different compilers/linkers (just for sport...). For some of them, I am successful, some give me trouble. One problem is the message:

LibGimpBase-ERROR **: gimp_wire_write_msg: the wire protocol has not been initialised aborting...

I placed some printf inside the code and the plugin seems to abort inside gimp_main() function. I perused the source code

but there is nothing obvious for me. Is it a matter of linker?

Any explanation is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Lee

I seem to remember that the Windows version of the code had some kind of hack to work around some deficiencies with the Windows linker. Maybe that hack doesn't work with the linkers that are causing a problem.
