Building on MacOSX Using CMake¶

• This has been tested on Mac OS X 10.9.4 Build: 13E28
• Last revision on which this method was tested: r3348
• This wiki page assumes that installation prefix is /usr/local and your build-dir is ~/gnu/exiv2

1. Install gcc (optional, required only if you want to use gcc)
   

   sudo port install gcc49
   

2. Fetch the source code:
   

   mkdir -p ~/gnu/exiv2
   cd ~/gnu/exiv2
   svn checkout svn://dev.exiv2.org/svn/trunk
   cd trunk
   

3. Build exiv2
   

   mkdir build
   cd build
   CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake ..                   # if you are using clang, then do: CC=gcc-mp-4.9 CXX=g++-mp-4.9 cmake ..
   make                                            # -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for debugging
   sudo make install
   

4. Building samples
   

   export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
   make samples
   

5. Build tests.
   • To execute tests:
     

     cd ~/gnu/exiv2/trunk
     make tests
