That should be available from your package manager, I would have 
assumed.

Either lower Shotwell's requirements (but be aware that GExiv2 < 0.10.4
has a nasty bug giving you wrong tags sometimes) or, if you build from a
release tarball 
(https://download.gnome.org/sources/gexiv2/0.10/gexiv2-0.10.5.tar.xz),
you can configure without gobject-introspection and still get the
vala VAPI file (I hope; not tested)

sorry about that.
