[gnome-love] Re: jhbuild - libexif - pkg-config

My temporary solution was to disable the libexif test in configure.in of nautilus so that my build could continue.

Hi again,

I had some interesting errors with nautilus and libexif.  I get the following error:

checking for libExif... checking for EXIF... checking for EXIF... configure: error: Package requirements (libexif = 0.5.12) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the EXIF_CFLAGS and EXIF_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
*** error during stage configure of nautilus: could not configure module *** [75/126]


  [1] rerun stage configure
  [2] ignore error and continue to build
  [3] give up on module
  [4] start shell
  [5] go to stage force_checkout

But, if you try the following, it is clear that pkg-config knows about libexif and it is a higher version.  But when you do the check, it fails:


svk ubuntu:~$ pkg-config --modversion libexif
0.6.12

svk ubuntu:~$ pkg-config --exists "libexif >= 0.5.12"
svk ubuntu:~$ echo $?
0

--

What is the recommended solution?

Thanks!
