Looking at xmp.cpp it seems
that it would like to have
// Adobe XMP Toolkit
#ifdef EXV_HAVE_XMP_TOOLKIT
# define TXMP_STRING_TYPE std::string
# include <XMP.hpp>
# include <XMP.incl_cpp>
#endif // EXV_HAVE_XMP_TOOLKIT

Googling for this leads to
 http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/
The resulting xmp_v411_sdk.zip contains XMP.hpp.

So it seems that this has to be installed first ...

Hope this helps a bit ...,
