A C++ proof-of-concept library that offers a command-line utility to embed a Creative Commons license(URL) into image XMP metadata. This library uses Adobe's XMP Toolkit SDK to implement metadata manipulation of an image.
Firstly, clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/gideonthomas/license-embed.git
To use the library, first you have to build Adobe's XMP Toolkit.
-
First install the cmake utility for Mac OSX and place the CMake.app file into the
XMP-Toolkit/tools/cmakefolder (create it if it does not exist). -
Run the shell script
XMP-Toolkit/build/GenerateXMPToolkitSDK_mac.shand choose the appropriate platform for installation (a Mac-based build). You will most likely want to generate a "static" version of the library. -
Open the generated project file in XCode. The file will be located in a path similar to
XMP-Toolkit/build/static/intel/XMPSDKToolkitSDK.xcodeproj. -
In the menu in XCode, select Product > Build. Ensure that the build was successful.
Now that you have built the Toolkit, you need to build the library itself.
-
Run the shell script
XMP-Toolkit/samples/build/GenerateXMPToolkitSDK_mac.shand choose the appropriate platform (Mac OSX). -
Open the generated project file in XCode. The file will be located in a path similar to
XMP-Toolkit/samples/build/intel/macintosh/XMPSDKToolkitSample.xcodeproj -
In the menu in XCode, select Product > Build. Ensure that the build was successful.
The library should now be ready to use. It will be located int the XMP-Toolkit/samples/target folder.
Simply run the MyModifyXMP file and provide a pathname and follow the instructions.
$ ./MyModifyXMP path/to/file/relative/to/MyModifyXMP
