Yes, visibility is hidden by default again, on compilers that support it (notably gcc-4.0)
For your test to link, you need the library it's linking with (libkhexedit or something)
to export the symbols that the test uses - best done using a KHEXEDIT_EXPORT
defined to KDE_EXPORT in a khexedit_export.h file, so that people compiling on
windows can later on alter that header file to redefine the macro more precisely.
Then insert KHEXEDIT_EXPORT between "class" and "KEBCDIC1047CharCodec" ;)
