See the file doc/ChangeLog for a description of recent changes to Exiv2.
Point your internet browser to doc/index.html for the complete Exiv2
documentation.
Building and Installing
=======================
Exiv2 comes with a GNU configure script. Run the following commands
from the top directory (containing this file) to build 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. The install command must be issued from an account
with the necessary access rights.
If you downloaded the software directly from the subversion
repository, then you need to have GNU autoconf installed on your
system and create the configure script as the first step:
$ make config
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 src/Makefile!
Uninstalling
============
$ make uninstall
Reporting bugs
==============
If you have any suggestions or bug reports, please send electronic mail
to the Exiv2 mailing list via
http://home.arcor.de/ahuggel/exiv2/support.html
or submit bug reports directly to the bug tracking system at
http://dev.robotbattle.com/bugs/main_page.php
Developing with Exiv2
=====================
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.
