Hello Andreas,

It took me a while to understand that the Dev-C++ only got a small
part of MingW and does miss MSys which is the key to configure/make
exiv2.

After installing a full MingW release and Msys, I was able to
configure and make exiv2.

Now I still have a link problem :
exifprint.o(.text+0x1d6):exifprint.cpp: undefined reference to
`Exiv2::ExifData::ExifData()'
exifprint.o(.text+0x234):exifprint.cpp: undefined reference to
`Exiv2::ExifData::read(std::string const&)'
exifprint.o(.text+0x372):exifprint.cpp: undefined reference to
`Exiv2::ExifData::strError(int, std::string const&)'
exifprint.o(.text+0x81c):exifprint.cpp: undefined reference to
`Exiv2::ExifData::~ExifData()'
exifprint.o(.text+0x85d):exifprint.cpp: undefined reference to
`Exiv2::ExifData::~ExifData()'

The source of exifprint I am trying to compile is in a directory at
the same level as the exiv2 directory. I have instructed the
compiler to include exiv2/src for headers and libraries and
exiv2/sc/.libs for libraries.

I know it sounds more like a compiler/environment setup problem
rather than an exuiv2 problem, but if you have some idea it could
help me.


Best Regards.

Hervé
