Right. That solved the problem.

Great, modification now in SVN.

I'm using svn exiv2.

Hrmm, apparently you've gotten almost all the way to getting Reavel compiled but are failing during linking because it cannot find various libtiff symbols. You must have the libtiff includes installed to have gotten this far. Oh jeesh. I bet I know the problem, I hadn't tested compiling Reveal dynamically under Linux.

If you look under projects/libraries.pri under the linux section you'llnotice I didn't add a rule for linking with libtiff . try adding the following to the top of the libraries.pri file:

contains(CONFIG, libtiff) LIBS += -ltiff

Please let me know if that fixes the problem so I can patch the code in SVN

When I start make it gives me this:

g++ -c -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -Os -D_REENTRANT -DBIN_DIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DDATA_DIR=\"/usr/share/reveal\" -DSTANDALONE_APP -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/mkspecs/default -I. -I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include -IReveal.tmp/ -o Reveal.tmp/RevealMain.o src/RevealMain.cpp

You need to download the latest exiv2 sources from Andreas's svn respository, then edit Reveal.pro to point to the correct location to find the includes libraries when linking. In the future building Reveal will bemuch easier when exiv2 includes a tool for determing this information automatically much like the xml2 and xslt libraries do today. Sorry about this.

svn command to get latest code (0.7 will NOT work)
svn checkout svn://dev.robotbattle.com/exiv2/trunk .

Hello,

Since I am not a programmer, could you give an example of the modification to be made on the Reveal.pro file?

Here is the message after trying to compile:
/usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake Reveal.pro
Project MESSAGE: Configuring library dependencies for Reveal:
Project MESSAGE: ->Automatically configuring
Project MESSAGE: ->Build will require libjpeg
Project MESSAGE: ->Build will require libexiv2

Here is the libexiv2 stuff:
locate libexiv2
/usr/local/lib/libexiv2-0.9.1.so
/usr/local/lib/libexiv2.a
/usr/local/lib/libexiv2.la
/usr/local/lib/libexiv2.so

Thank you for your help
Regards,

Instead of say "Build will require XXX" I really should print out "Build will USE XXXX". Those are not error messages, they're just announcements, letting you know we'll be linking against those libraries. Try running make and make install. Building will probably work just fine.

Another user made the same comment. He was sure somethign was not working properly when everything was fine. I've changed the code in SVN such that future releases will be less confusing.
