Compiling libexif in windows 7
-
Hi,
Since Qt does not supply class to extract exif info in jpg file, I decided to
use third party library-- libexif.
I have downloaded libexif-0.6.21.zip.
When I compiled on linux, I successfully could get libexif.a static library
file which is the only file needed for static linking to my application.
On windows 7, I followed the instruction at
http://www.ridgesolutions.ie/index.php/2015/03/13/build-libexif-for-windows-and-visual-studio/
I use mingw492_32 which comes with Qt5.6.2 and installed MSYS. After
configure, I excuted make to compile it. What I got is the following Error.libtool: link: object name comflicts in archive:
.libs/libexif.lax/libmnote-canon.a//d/libexif-0.6.21/libexif/
./.libs/libmnote-canon.a
make[2]: *** [libexif.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/d/libexif-0.6.21/libexif'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/d/qqes/libexif-0.6.21'
make: *** [all] Error 2And I could not find libexif.a which is all I need. Does anyone have the
similar problem? -
Hi
The tut didn't load so could not check.
Alarm just went off with VISUAL studio and mingw492_32 in same sentence.
You are not mixing anything compiled with studio with mingw?also MSYS adds a whole new layer of stuff that can go wrong.
Anyway, it might be a PATH thing
