[Kde-imaging] problems with finding correct exiv2

[Arnd Baecker]

Hi,

I am not sure, if this is really the right mailing list,
but hopefully it is not too far off ;-)

When trying to compile kipiplugins, obtained via
  svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/libs
configured via
  make -f Makefile.cvs
  ./configure --prefix=$DIGIKAMDEST \
    --with-extra-includes=$DIGIKAMDEST/include \
    --with-extra-libs=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib
the wrong exiv2 is found:
I have a 0.10 in /usr/
and a self-compiled (0.14) in $DIGIKAMDEST, but
only the first is found.

As paths
export DIGIKAMDEST=/home/NBB/digikam
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAMDEST:/usr
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDPATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib/pkgconfig
are set.

Fiddling around with the configure script, it
turned out that changing the order of
the definitions of PKG_CONFIG_PATH inside the script to
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$prefix/lib${kdelibsuff}/pkgconfig"
did solve the problem for me.

Is there a better solution?
(and, if not, maybe the above ordering should be the default
so that alternative configurations are used instead
of the usual ones?)

Best, Arnd
