Hi Hervé,

The quickest way to get going is to cd to the top directory of the
distributed code, run ./configure followed by make. This will generate the
exv_conf.h file in the src directory specifically for your platform.

All the tools you need for this are available from mingw/msys (mainly you'll
need make and sed)

src/exv_conf.h is generated from config/config.h.in in two steps. 1)
configure will set the platform specific defines based on the tests it runs
and generate config/config.h. 2) Running make in the src directory will copy
this file to src/exv_conf.h and prepend EXV_ to the defines.

exv_msvc.h is the configuration file used when compiling with MSVC. I don't
think it will be useful in any other context.

Taking an exv_conf.h file from another system is likely to result in more
obscure problems, since it needs to be tailored to your specific platform.
That's the reason why it is not included in the distribution.

Regards,
Andreas

Hello,

I am new to exiv2. I tried to compile the exifprint example and ran
into the error of not having the exv_conf.h file which is not part
of the exiv2 release. I tried to replace the inclusion of this
header file with exv_msvc.h which is available with the exiv2
source, but then got a link error.
I am using Dev-CC+/mingw32 (not MSVC) as the compiler.
Can somebody make the exv_conf.h file available ?

Thanks.

Hervé
