script. Run the following commands from the top directory (containing
this file) to configure, build and install the library and utility:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
If you downloaded the source code directly from the subversion

below.
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.
