./configure doesn't recognize libexif

Hi,

I tried to compile the latest GIMP version from the SVN trunk. My problem: the ./configure script (called from autogen.sh) doesn't recognize libexif although the libexif-dev and libexif-gtk-dev packages are installed and the headers and libs are indeed present:

user@ubuntu:~/tmp$ ls /usr/include/libexif exif-byte-order.h exif-entry.h exif-log.h exif-utils.h exif-content.h exif-format.h exif-mem.h _stdint.h exif-data.h exif-ifd.h exif-mnote-data.h exif-data-type.h exif-loader.h exif-tag.h user@ubuntu:~/tmp$ ls /usr/include/libexif-gtk/ gtk-exif-browser.h gtk-exif-entry.h gtk-exif-content-list.h gtk-exif-entry-number.h gtk-exif-entry-ascii.h gtk-exif-entry-option.h gtk-exif-entry-copyright.h gtk-exif-entry-rational.h gtk-exif-entry-date.h gtk-exif-entry-resolution.h gtk-exif-entry-flash.h gtk-exif-entry-user-comment.h gtk-exif-entry-generic.h gtk-exif-entry-version.h

... ./configure output ... Plug-In Features:
EXIF support: no (libexif not found) ...

You need at least libexif 0.6.15.

Kind regards,

Ok thanks, that solves the problem. I have libexif 0.6.13 which is shipped with Ubuntu 7.04.

You need at least libexif 0.6.15.

The summary should indicate this - use "too old" rather than "not found".

It could do that. But there is already informative output when the test for libexif is run. It would be quite some effort to change all tests in configure to put that information into the summary. Quite error-prone and IMO not worth the effort. People compiling GIMP should examine the configure output.
