To run exiv2:
$ cd dist

$ linux/bin/exiv2

To compile and link your own code:
$ cd dist
$ sudo cp -R linux/* /usr/local/
$ g++ samples/exifprint.cpp -lexiv2 -o exifprint
$ ./exifprint --version

To run exiv2.exe:
$ cd dist
$ PATH="$PWD/cygwin/bin:$PATH"
$ cygwin/bin/exiv2

To compile and link your own code:
  Caution: This is a 64 bit build
           An error such as "incorrect architecture" is a symptom of using cygwin32
$ cd dist
$ cp -R cygwin/* /usr/local
$ g++ -L/usr/local/lib -lexiv2 samples/exifprint.cpp -o exifprint
$ ./exifprint --version

To run exiv2.exe:
c:\temp> cd dist
c:\temp\dist> set "PATH=%CD%\2013\x64\dll\Release\bin;%PATH%"
c:\temp\dist> exiv2

To compile and link your own code:
  Caution: You must use the same version of Visual Studio as the build
           You will need to use the "Visual Studio Command Prompt"
           or initialise the DOS environment by calling vcvarsall.bat
