exiv2api.cpp will compile with exiv2 until version 0.27.7

I guess there was a change in exiv2 api. Comiling with version 0.28.0 and above throws following errors:

Exiv2 versions before 0.28.0 will compile without errors,

Can i solve it myself? Where to find the corresponding code for the exiv2api.cpp?

See https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/issues/1264 exiv2 v0.28 changed the code to C++11 style, so the old code compiles with some syntax errors. I'm now trying to resolve these syntax errors. The C++ code of pyexiv2 is all located in exiv2api.cpp, which calls Exiv2 C++ API .

I just committed a branch update_exiv2_to_0.28 You can compile its source code. I'm going to merge that branch into the master branch of pyexiv2 in a couple months.

Worked perfectly. I'm not familiar with C++ anymore, so i could have done it by myself. TYVM
