Localisation is supported on a UNIX-like platform: Linux, macOS, Cygwin and MinGW/msys2. Localisation is not supported for Visual Studio builds.
To build localisation support, use the CMake option `-DEXIV2_ENABLE_NLS=ON`. You must install the `gettext` package with your package manager or from source. The `gettext` package is available from [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/](http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/) and includes the library `libintl` and utilities to build localisation files. If CMake produces error messages which mention libintl or gettext, you should verify that the package `gettext` has been correctly built and installed.

Apple provide clang with Xcode. GCC has not been supported by Apple since 2013. The _"normal unix build"_ uses Clang.

4) Cross Compiling
I've never succeeded in getting this to work. I use different VMs for Linux 32 and 64 bit. I've documented how to set up Cygwin and MinGW/msys2 for 64 and 32 bit builds in [README-CONAN](README-CONAN.md)

### 5.3 MinGW
We provide support for both 64bit and 32bit builds using MinGW/msys2. [https://www.msys2.org](https://www.msys2.org)
Support for MinGW/msys1.0 32 bit build was provided for Exiv2 v0.26. MinGW/msys1.0 is not supported by Team Exiv2 for Exiv2 v0.27 and later.
Please note that the platform MinGW/msys2 32 is obsolete and superceded by MinGW/msys2 64.
There is a discussion on the web about installing GTest: [https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/issues/575](https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/issues/575)
I use the following batch file to start the MinGW/msys2 32 bit bash shell from the Dos Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
```bat
@echo off
setlocal
set "PS1=\! MSYS32:\u@\h:\w \$ "
set PATH="/usr/local/bin/:/usr/bin:/mingw32/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
set "HOME=c:\msys32\home\%USERNAME%"
if NOT EXIST %HOME% mkdir %HOME%
cd %HOME%
c:\msys32\usr\bin\bash.exe -norc

You can upgrade all installed packages on your system with the following command. For me, this broke msys32 and I had to reinstall msys32 and all the dependencies. Your experience may be different.
