[Libexif-devel] [libexif-0.6.13] problem with pkgconfig file

Hi!

I just upgraded to libexif-0.6.13 and noticed that now
several packages depending on libexif (like libexif-gtk
and gthumb) do not compile anymore.

The reason seems to be a change in the "libexif.pc" pkgconfig
file: the explicit libexif include path switch was removed
("-I/usr/include/libexif") and now other packages which
use pkgconfig to create their compile flags have compile
problems. I don't know if this modification was intentional,
but libexif include files still live in /usr/include/libexif/
and without the additional "-I" switch the compiler can not
find them. In the case of libexif-gtk, the configure script
falls back to an old libexif library version and the build
fails, too.

I changed libexif.pc to provide this additional "-I" switch
for the CFLAGS variable and now libexif-gtk and gthumb do
compile correctly again even with libexif-0.6.13.

I made a small patch implementing this change:

You'll also find the patch attached to this mail (enigmail
tends to corrupt inline patches... ;-)

HTH
