Re: [Gexiv2] Autotools build system for GExiv2.

[Jehan Pagès <jehan marmottard gmail com>]

Hi again,

After compiling entangle right now, I noticed they use also gexiv2,
but include it with #include <gexiv2.h>.
In GIMP, we call it with #include <gexiv2/gexiv2.h> and the pc file I
updated would make the assumption this is the right include. So what
it the actual right #include call for your library? I could not find
any official documentation or tutorial.
Thanks.

Jehan
