To run exiv2 from the bundle

----------------------------

$ cd <bundle>

$ env PATH="$PWD/bin:$PATH" bin/exiv2

To build samples/exiftool.cpp from the bundle

---------------------------------------------

$ cd <bundle>

$ g++ -std=c++98 samples/exifprint.cpp -Llib -Iinclude -lexiv2 -o exifprint

$ env PATH="$PWD/bin:$PATH" ./exifprint

To install for use by all users

-------------------------------

$ cd <bundle>

$ for i in bin include lib share ; do mkdir -p /usr/local/$i ; cp -R $i/* /usr/local/$i ; done

To compile and link your own code using installed library and include files

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 1: Explicitly set include and linking options

$ cd <bundle>

$ g++ -std=c++98 samples/exifprint.cpp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lexiv2 -o exifprint

$ export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

$ ./exifprint --version

Method 2: Use pkg-config to set include and linking options

$ cd <bundle>

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

$ export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

$ g++ -std=c++98 samples/exifprint.cpp -o exifprint $(pkg-config exiv2 --libs --cflags)

$ ./exifprint --version
