That symbol appears in geomVertexData.cxx, which gets compiled into libpanda.dll. So if you’re linking with libpanda.lib you should have that symbol available.
Are you getting this compilation error when you build Panda itself, or when you build your own application?
Fetching headers from parser-inc is indeed a serious problem. Again, are you getting this problem when you build Panda itself, or when you build your own application? If it’s a problem when you’re building your own application, make sure you do not have this directory on your include path.
