| Caution: Use a Windows unzip utility such as 7z or winzip                  |

| Cygwin unzip utilities can result in incorrect security with bin/exiv2.dll |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

To run exiv2.exe from the bundle:

c:\> cd <bundle>\bin

<bundle>\bin> exiv2

Add the bin to your PATH:

c:\> cd <bundle>\bin

<bundle>\bin>set PATH=%CD%;%PATH%

To compile and link your own code:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| Caution: You must use the same version of Visual Studio as the build                          |

|          You will need to use the "Visual Studio Command Prompt"                              |

|          or initialise the DOS environment by calling vcvars64.bat                            |

| c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

c:\> cd <bundle>

<bundle>> cl /EHsc -Iinclude /MD samples\exifprint.cpp /link lib\exiv2.lib

<bundle>> exifprint --version

<bundle>>

Method 3: Use the CMake support/consume files

See file: README.md Section: 2.6 "Consuming Exiv2 with CMake"
