[Libexif-devel] Configure libexif in windows

[Michele S. <m.s...@al...>]

Hi everybody,

I'm newbee and I'm interested in using libexif in my c++ software (platform
used: Windows XP service pack 3).

I'm using two editors, QtCreator and VisualStudio 2008, but I can't find any
instructions to how configure libexif on Windows.

I downloaded libexif-0.6.19.zip, linked all the files in my program, but, of
course, the linker don't find some .h file like config.h.

This because I didn't configure the library.

Someone can tell me how I have to? 

Thank you very much.

Windows build instructions are in the file README-Win32.txt, but it seems
this file isn't included in the source distribution. You can read it at
http://libexif.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libexif/libexif/README-Win32.txt?view=markup
Basically, it says to use a MinGW32/MSYS environment and use the normal
configure process.

Thank you for support, it really helped!
I downloaded MSYS ( I thought I had it with Mingw; instead, they are two
completely different things).
I followed the instructions and all the commands have been executed.
Using QtCreator I compiled everything.
I guess I have no chances to compile libexif with Visual Studio 2008...:(

Thank you all.

Glad to see you had success.

If you hand-craft a config.h file (using the MSYS-created one as a
template), you should be able to compile under VS pretty easily by just
creating a project with all the .c files in it.  libexif is very portable,
so it shouldn't be more difficult than that.  If that doesn't work,
please let us know.

It definitely does work.
