Com'on buddy. Please don't bounce every question to me. The ./configure script is warning you that NLS (natural language support) has been disabled because you don't have the gettext library available. However, it will build if you type:

$ make
$ sudo make install
$ make samples

There are several ways to deal with gettext not being available:

1. Install gettext using MacPorts:

$ sudo port install gettext

or
2) Build without NLS (natural language support)

./configure --disable-nls

or
3) Download the gettext source code and build/install it.

To inspect build options:

$ ./configure --help

To enable video:

$ ./configure --enable-video

The build environments for Exiv2 (autotools, CMake and Visual Studio) are typical of open-source projects. When you know those tools, you can build most projects easily. However, there is a learning curve. There are tools (such as Mac Ports for MacOSX and apt for Linux) which hide details. However, open-source is source. This is not the world of shrink-wrapped software (such as Adobe PhotoShop or Microsoft Word). Projects such as Exiv2 are intended for use by other open-source warriors and regretfully you'll stumble while you learn.

If you continue to encounter issues, please agree on a time when we can collaborate on FaceTime. 30 minutes together will be quicker and more effective/efficient than a series of issue reports.
