Re: [gexiv2] New development snapshot: gexiv2 0.9.0

[Jim Nelson <jim yorba org>]

"make tests" right now is pretty barebones -- a simple little program to dump all tags in an image file and nothing more.  It was produced for ensuring gexiv2 works more-or-less like Exiv2.  We do not recommend installing or distributing this binary, as it's not ready for prime time.

"make tests" requires that gexiv2 be installed before running.  That's something we should check: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723790  I suppose we could also support --includedir (is there a --libdir as well?), but as "make tests" is really only for developers at the moment, I don't think it's necessary.

I've pushed gexiv2 0.9.1 that should fix your problems, Ankur. I also discovered some other issues with introspection support, so it's a good thing you brought this to our attention.

The new release is at: https://download.gnome.org/sources/gexiv2/0.9/gexiv2-0.9.1.tar.xz Let me know if this works for you!

Thank you for the quick fixes. It builds and installs all the components properly now. I can't get the checks to work, though: When I run `make tests`, the valac command doesn't find the <gexiv2/gexiv2.h> header required to compile the program. The valac command doesn't use an --includedir option in Makefile.am, so I'm guessing it looks at the standard locations and/or the pwd for this header? I tried to add `--includedir=.` (and `--includedir=..` in case valac was invoked in the `tests` directory) to it, but that didn't work. Since the package is built in a buildroot, ideally, it should look at $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_includedir}, where `make install` correctly installs the headers. Here's the build log for a build that failed at `make tests`: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/74852/65244013 Does it work right for you? I can push an update for rawhide (Fedora 21) already. Since there isn't an API/ABI change, it isn't really a major update.
