No worries, Jehan, we did see it.  I need to take a hard look at your patch,
obviously, but we have no objections to moving gexiv2 to autotools and know
it'll make your life easier.

Cool.

It's great to hear it ports so well to
Windows!

Yes indeed. I just tested GIMP master (with GExiv2) under a Windows VM
and I got metadata for an image. :-) So you did a good portability
job, I had no code to touch to have GExiv2 compile for Windows. :-)

If you do run into any problems -- I'm sure you will -- filing a
ticket is the best way to get our attention.

Well I just opened 2 bugs about broken metadata on our tracker. Not
sure yet if this is a EXiv2, GExiv2 or GIMP bug. We will report
upstream if it ends up being a bug in GExiv2, no worry.

Have fun.

Jehan

Hi, I am a GIMP dev. Since we now use GExiv2, I wanted to be able to
cross-compile this lib easily on various system (Windows in particular, but
this would apply to others too). So I ported your tree to an autotools build
system. So this email is just to inform you of the feature request, with
patch provided there: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/7660 Just in case you
did not see. I tried to keep all features of existing hand-made Makefiles,
and hopefully there is no bug remaining. In any case that's likely a better
fundation than hand-writting Makefiles. :-) Also I successfully
cross-compiled GExiv2 and GIMP for Windows on my Linux system with this new
build system. So that's a proven patch. :-) Thanks! Jehan
