Description Peter Williams 2006-05-01 02:28:26 UTC 
libfspot and libfspotjpegtran both use functions from libexif, but they don't link to it explicitly. This isn't a problem for F-Spot since it loads libexif directly, but if you are linking to one of those libraries from another application (and if "you" is me, you are) that doesn't use libexif, you get undefined symbol errors.

I will attach a simple ChangeLog-less patch that gets things to work for me.

Sorry for the lack of ChangeLog. Also, maybe there will be some issue if you can't rely on libexif to be in the linker search path, etc.

this is fixed using the pkg-config info now
