Thanks Lem for testing, I think this gives Adam the green light.

Adam, indeed this is a very small library and I presume will not increase its overhead in the future. I guess it's up to you whether to split it into the runtime and -devel packages as usual... Thank you very much for volunteering to maintain this package!

Yeah, it's a known issue on the main branch coming from this line of code:

https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/blob/842ef05ee60bff765c0402a211971aed53b728cc/src/CMakeLists.txt#L168

and the fact that the main branch has an arbitrary version set to 1.0.0 for now...

It shouldn't be related to anything discussed here though.

Best regards,
Milos

Adam, I've made a pull-request [3] to do it, to add LICENSE variable, and
to rename source archive.

Hi Milos,

I've just attempted to package this for Cygwin.  Are you able to test
the packaging?  The below command, run from a Cygwin Bash shell and
assuming you have all the relevant dependencies already installed,
should install the test package.

    curl -L https://github.com/me-and/Cygwin-inih/releases/download/v56-1/libinih-56-1.tar.xz | tar -xJC/

The test scripts seem to pass, but I'm not familiar with the library so
I'm not able to test it's actually usable as packaged.

If this works, I'm happy to submit this for packaging for Cygwin. If
not, it'll need someone with more time and energy; I can look after a
package that builds simply and straightforwardly, but I don't currently
have the bandwidth to look after something more complex.

Adam

Hi,

I've tried to build exiv2 from the upstream repository [1]
with Adam's libinih package.

Weirdly, this version [1] yields ./bin/cygexiv2-0.dll,
while the current version v0.27.5 [2] yields ./bin/cygexiv2-27.dll.

I guess this change is not intended, but I don't know how to fix it.
