NativeCall Can't Find My Function!

NativeCall Can't Find My Function.md

I recently compiled a shared lib from a directory of object fules, using the following invocation:

gcc -shared -fPIC -o libgtksourceview-core.so *.o `pkg-config gtk+-3.0 --libs` -lxml2`

This gave me a .so file that I was going to use with some NativeCall code. Well! Long story short: It didn't work:

Cannot locate symbol '_gtk_source_iter_forward_full_word_end' in native library '/home/cbwood/Projects/p6-SourceViewGTK/t/lib/libgtksourceview-core.so'
  in method setup at

This is a bit confusing, since I can see the symbol just fine via readelf:

$ readelf -s --wide *.so | grep _gtk | grep word_end
  1704: 0000000000046d30   630 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 _gtk_source_iter_forward_visible_word_end
  1714: 0000000000046290   273 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 _gtk_source_iter_forward_full_word_end
  1764: 0000000000046740   378 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 _gtk_source_iter_forward_extra_natural_word_end
  1776: 0000000000047300   200 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 _gtk_source_iter_forward_visible_word_ends

My NativeCall definition is clear enough:

sub _gtk_source_iter_forward_full_word_end (GtkTextIter $iter)
  is native(sourceview_core)
  is export
  { * }

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to recompile my shared library again?

Thanks!
