Building and Installing
|
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exiv2 comes with a GNU configure script and uses GNU Libtool. Run the
|
|
|
|
|
following commands from the top directory (containing this file) to
|
|
|
|
|
configure, build and install the library and utility:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default install locations are /usr/local/lib for the library,
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin for the exiv2 utility and /usr/local/include/exiv2 for
|
|
|
|
|
the header files. Use the --prefix=directory option of the configure
|
|
|
|
|
script to change this default. Run ./configure --help to see a list
|
|
|
|
|
of all options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build Exiv2 with MSVC 7.1, use the solution file msvc/exiv2.sln.

Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have problems building Exiv2, check the generated
|
|
|
|
|
config/config.mk and config/config.h files. You should *not* need to
|
|
|
|
|
modify any Makefile directly, in particular not src/Makefile!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uninstalling
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make uninstall
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Developing with Exiv2
|
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you downloaded the software directly from the subversion
|
|
|
|
|
repository, and you want to build it using the GNU configure script,
|
|
|
|
|
then you need to have GNU autoconf installed on your system and create
|
|
|
|
|
the configure script as the first step:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make config
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To generate the documentation ($ make doc), you will further need
|
|
|
|
|
python, doxygen, graphviz and xsltproc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exiv2 uses GNU Libtool in order to build shared libraries on a variety
|
|
|
|
|
of systems. While this is very nice for making usable binaries, it can
|
|
|
|
|
be a pain when trying to debug a program. For that reason, compilation
|
|
|
|
|
of shared libraries can be turned off by specifying the
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-shared option to the configure script.
