[Libexif-devel] difficulty installing exif on MacOSX - pkg-config

[Ben H. <tr...@gr...>]

Hi,

My installation of libexif seemed to go alright.  After './configure',
'make', and 'make install', these are the contents of my /usr/local/lib
dir:
ben@ibook-laptop ~/tmp/libexif-0.5.12$ ls /usr/local/lib
charset.alias             libexif.a                 pkgconfig/
libexif.9.1.2.dylib*      libexif.dylib@
libexif.9.dylib@          libexif.la*

I merrily went on my way to ../exif-0.6/, where ./configure fails:
checking for libexif >=3D 0.5.9... Package libexif was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libexif.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libexif' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libexif >=3D 0.5.9) not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.


Sure enough, if I ask pkg-config what packages it knows about, it does
not list libexif.
ben@ibook-laptop ~/tmp/exif-0.6$ pkg-config --list-all
gdk       GDK - GIMP Drawing Kit
gmodule   GModule - Dynamic module loader for GLib
glib      GLib - C Utility Library
esound    esound - esound
gthread   GThread - Thread support for GLib
libIDL    libIDL - IDL parsing library
libpng    libpng12 - Loads and saves PNG files
libpng12  libpng12 - Loads and saves PNG files
imlib     Imlib - An image loading and rendering library for X11R6
audiofile audiofile - audiofile
gtk+      GTK+ - GIMP Tool Kit
ORBit     ORBit - High-performance CORBA Object Request Broker.
imlibgdk  ImlibGdk - GDK support libraries for Imlib


I'm not sure what to do next.  I can't find any command line argumets to
pkg-config to tell it to search particular directories or add new
packages, but shouldn't the install for libexif have done that? =20

Thanks,
