Install Exiv2 by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D EXIV2_ENABLE_VIDEO=yes \
-D EXIV2_ENABLE_WEBREADY=yes \
-D EXIV2_ENABLE_CURL=yes \
-D EXIV2_BUILD_SAMPLES=no \
-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-G Ninja .. &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
-D
CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes
cmake remove
hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary
executable file or a shared library. This package does not need
rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may
sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.
-D EXIV2_ENABLE_VIDEO=yes:
This switch enables managing video metadata.
-D
EXIV2_ENABLE_WEBREADY=yes: This switch enables managing
web image metadata.
-D EXIV2_BUILD_SAMPLES=no:
This switch is necessary to suppress building and installing sample
programs. If the sample programs are built, 34 additional programs
are installed in /usr/bin.
-D EXIV2_ENABLE_CURL=yes:
This switch is necessary to enable network/http capabilities.
-D EXIV2_ENABLE_INIH=no: Use this
switch if you have not installed inih-58.
-D EXIV2_ENABLE_BROTLI=no: Use this
switch if you have not installed Brotli-1.1.0.
