I have now downloaded and compiled the FreeImage sources and yes, the file b44ExpLogTable.cpp is compiled into libfreeimage.a. The problem looks like the script gensrclist.sh just collects all .cpp files without skipping the one with a main in. That script generates a file named Makefile.srcs but one is already supplied. (running it on my Leopard failed, some problem with sh - it worked if I changed sh to bash)

Before you have changed anything this gives an a.out

c++ libfreeimage.a

The file Makefile.srcs has already been created so you should be able to remove the file b44ExpLogTable.cpp from it. Then do

make -f Makefile.osx clean
make -f Makefile.osx

When this is done the above c++ libfreeimage.a should give the following error

Undefined symbols:
  "_main", referenced from:
      start in crt1.10.5.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
