* The existing automake (./configure), and msvc2005 build files will continue
to be supported by exiv2 for at least v0.27 (and probably longer)
The msvc-2003 build files are deprecated and will not be supported after v0.26.
Exiv2 will not build on MinGW (neither 32bit nor 64bit)
This is discussed in TODO-CMAKE

CMake generates MSVC .sln and .vcproj files for your target environment.
The files generated by CMake provide 4 configs: Debug|Release|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel
The current architecture of CMake requires you to decide before running cmake:

4 Building and installing for MinGW Users
=========================================
1 Running a MinGW bash shell
I installed MinGW using the installer on the web site.
I installed two copies c:\MinGW and c:\MinGW64
- both copies run a 32 bit bash shell
I installed the TDM-GCC-64 compiler for use from MinGW64
I installed the Qt 5.6.0 Environement for use from MinGW
I start mingw from DOS with this batch-file (mingw32.bat)

MinGW64 has very similar code. Putting the TDM compiler on the path is the major difference

2 Building and installing CMake
$ ./bookstrap --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ make install
Gotchas:
1) Do not use a Windows binary install version of CMake
This generates commands which assume you are in the DOS shell.
Build and Use CMake in a "Unix" Way from a MinGW/bash shell.
2) Even although gcc is on the path, we must tell cmake not to use /c/MinGW/bin/gcc)
3) It's using the wrong headers. Needs /c/Qt/Qt5.6.0/Tools/mingw492_32/i686-w64-mingw32/include
ToDo: * CMake/MinGW builds executables that do not work properly for v0.26
Known issues:
sample apps crash in XML_ParserCreate()
in c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\msys-expat-1.dll
sample apps crash in XML_ParserCreate()
in c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\msys-expat-1.dll
This is because MinGW links the wrong DLLs.
Team Exiv2 will not provide support for CMake/MinGW
The known issues with CMake/MinGW will be reported to Kitware.
We hope CMake/MinGW will be in a working state for Exiv2 v0.27
