So the symbol is still there on 10.5, but is private extern? That is,
indeed, what nmedit is supposed to do. There are other issues with
nmedit on Leopard (it refuses to strip global coalesced symbols -
whatever they are) that mean that I will have to patch libtool.
I'll try to get around to building xmms.
In the meantime, does something like this work for you in a patchscript
(sed script is all on one line)?
sed -e "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ -exported_symbols_list
\$output_objdir/\${libname}-symbols.expsym\'@g" < configure > configure.new
mv configure.new configure
