1. Download Libexif-0.6.21.zip
It's http://sourceforge.net/projects/libexif/files/libexif/0.6.21/.
2. Unzip the Libexif-0.6.21.zip
I unzipped it to the d:\opensources\.
3. Installing MinGW
Is http://www.mingw.org/click on the download Installer in the upper right corner
Remember to install Msys
My installation path is: C:\MinGW
Here are the following folders:
Bin
Include
Lib
Libexec
Mingw32
Msys
Share
Var
4. Locate Msys.bat under C:\MinGW\msys\1.0 and add a line at the beginning of the file:
Call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\vc\bin\vcvars32.bat"
5. Find the Fstab file under C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\etc, if there is no copy fstab.sample to Fstab
Confirm that the content is
#Win32_Path Mount_point
C:/mingw /mingw
This is my installation directory, please consciously change to your.
6. Under C:\MinGW\msys\1.0, locate Msys.bat, double-click Run
Then switch to the path of your libexif-0.6.21
Like I unzipped the d:\opensources\.
So my orders are:
cd/d/opensources/libexif-0.6.21/
Then execute the command in turn
./configure--host=i586-mingw32msvc--disable-nls--enable-ship-binaries
Make
Make install
If there is no error, there will be three more folders under the C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\local path Bin (contains Libexif-12.dll), Lib (Do not care), include (header file)
Below the D:\opensources\libexif-0.6.21\libexif\.libs will appear libexif.def (seemingly unavailable, open the discovery begins with a line of "exports", plus later can be used) and Libexif-12.dll.def file
So we have the include,. dll, and. def files
A lib file is also missing
7. We can use. def to generate. Lib from the VS command line .
VS command-line open mode, open vs->tools->visual Studio command Prompt
Switch to the directory that contains the. def
Execute command:
Lib/def:libexif-12.dll.def/out:libexif.lib
So that we have the VC can be used under the Libexif complete library
I wrote a test program: But I couldn't find the libexif-12.dll.dll.
This time only to change the. dll file to the corresponding file name.
If you have any questions, please comment directly.
