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
