The problem seems to be different implementations of instantiate().

In Harry's example 
<https://github.com/harryhaaren/lv2/tree/master/plugins/eg-sinsynth.lv2>, the 
methods that (AFAIU) LV2 expects :

  * instantiate()
  * connect_port()
  * activate()
  * run()
  * deactivate()
  * cleanup()
  * extension_data()

Are declared explicitely, using static.

Like this :

static LV2_Handle
instantiate(const LV2_Descriptor*     descriptor,
             double                    rate,
             const char*               bundle_path,
             const LV2_Feature* const* features)
{
   SinSynth* self = (SinSynth*)malloc(sizeof(SinSynth));

   // store the sample rate in "self" so we can retrieve it in run()
   self->sample_rate = rate;

   // initialize the phase so we start at the beginning of the wave
   self->phase = 0.f;

   return self;
}

void
connect_port(LV2_Handle instance,
              uint32_t   port,
              void*      data)
{
   SinSynth* self=(SinSynth*)instance;

   switch (port) {
   case AMP_FREQ:
     self->freq = (float*)data;
     break;
   case AMP_MIDI:
     self->MidiIn = data;
     break;
   case AMP_OUTPUT:
     self->output = (float*)data;
     break;
   }
}

static void
activate(LV2_Handle instance)
{
}

(...)

Whereas in so-404, they are somehow "surcharged", like this :

void runSO_404( LV2_Handle arg, uint32_t nframes );
LV2_Handle instantiateSO_404(const LV2_Descriptor *descriptor,double 
s_rate, const char *path,const LV2_Feature * const* features);
void cleanupSO_404(LV2_Handle instance);
void connectPortSO_404(LV2_Handle instance, uint32_t port, void 
*data_location);

static LV2_Descriptor kis_Descriptor= {
     .URI="https://bitbucket.org/xaccrocheur/kis",
     .instantiate=instantiateSO_404,
     .connect_port=connectPortSO_404,
     .activate=NULL,
     .run=runSO_404,
     .deactivate=NULL,
     .cleanup=cleanupSO_404,
     .extension_data=NULL,
};

So apparently instead of being declared thusly:

LV2_Handle
instantiateSO_404(const LV2_Descriptor* descriptor,
                   double s_rate,
                   const char *path,
                   const LV2_Feature * const* features)
{...}

Either my instantiate method return value should be static, or my 
"mandatory" methods should be declared explicitely. I tried to adapt 
them, but failed so far.
Please excuse my sub-newbie mistakes.
