Nice to hear that.
The reason it does not compile on the latest ditributions like Fedora 11 and Ubuntu Jauntu Jackalope is that Exiv2 and Libgda broke their APIs and we are yet to install them on our workstations.
However, the situation is set to change very soon. I already have the Fedora 11 LiveCD with me now, and am torrenting the Fedora 11 DVD.
Not only that, glibmm and libgdl has some issues which are mentioned in the README:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/solang.git/tree/README Those are mainly to do with bug-fixes which either need backported patches or an update to a newer release. Being a Fedora packager myself, I try to keep the Fedora end of things as up to date as possible, but the same can not be guaranteed for other distributions. My co-developer, Santanu, is a Debian user, but Debian seems to be a bit slow in incorporating downstream fixes. I have no idea how to address this.
Right now the plan is to port Solang from Exiv2 0.17.x to Exiv2 0.18.x. Then we plan to tackle Libgda.
It would be nice to have you on
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/solang-devel so that we can co-ordinate our efforts better.
Happy hacking!
