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

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

Two things I forgot to mention:
the pkg-config file for libexif gets installed correctly:
ben@ibook-laptop ~/tmp/libexif-0.5.12$ ls /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
libexif.pc
ben@ibook-laptop ~/tmp/libexif-0.5.12$ cat !$*
cat /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/*
prefix=3D/usr/local
exec_prefix=3D${prefix}
libdir=3D${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=3D${prefix}/include

Name: libexif
Description: Library for easy access to EXIF data
Requires:
Version: 0.5.12
Libs: -L${libdir} -lexif -lm
Cflags: -I${includedir}/libexif -I${includedir}


Second thing - following the suggestion of the ./configure script and
adding the path to 	PKG_CONFIG_PATH doesn't seem to help
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.
ben@ibook-laptop ~/tmp/exif-0.6$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH=20
/usr/local/lib

I also tried it with PKG_CONFIG_PATH set to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig,
but to no avail.
