So, apparently, this is a not so popular topic.. :-( The reason I
think this is a bug is that with the current logic in the configure
script, even if you add the flag --enable-new-exif, the configure
script will disable that flag with the pkg-config if statement. If
I manually specify --enable-new-exif, I would expect the configure
script to honor that setting, if it fails because I don't really have
it, that's my own fault. But it shouldn't unset the flag because one
utility can't find the proper library.
All I'm really asking the developers is should I log this as a bug?
If not, why not, am I doing something wrong? Is my logic flawed?
I just want to contribute to this fantastic project.
