[Digikam-users] Re: Help! Installation of new exiv2 2.0??

[Hevï Guy]

First problem encountered...

Following the instructions given at
http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/SvnAlongStable  I've been able to
get as far as "Patch CMakeLists.txt to be able to build standalone.
Download appended patch and place it in your development folder." I
found the original CMakeLists.txt on my boat trunk/libkeeiv2/ and, I
found the patch via the link:

I assume that I copy the above and paste it into CMakeLists.txt. Is this
correct? Where do I append it? At the beginning? At the end?
