Recently I decided to finally sanitise and organise my photo collection on my 
Mac which was previously a mess. However I found my choice of apps to do this 
was pretty much limited to iPhoto - which for a couple of reasons may be 
undesirable, notably the monolithic proprietary database it stores the photos 
in, the tendency of said database to get corrupted when it gets large, and the 
suggestions that version '11 might possibly be worse than the previous version 
'09 in some respects. The fact that it has to compete with - or in other words 
yield to - its bigger brother Aperture is also not ideal.

With that in mind, I've set out to bring Shotwell to Snow Leopard. The first 
step was to see if the vanilla source in the Git repo will compile. So far 
compilation against Macports has *almost* worked, in that all dependencies have 
been pulled in and work except for the following:
- 2 dependencies are missing from Macports, gexiv2 and gudev-1.0;
- and 2 should work but don't; libsoup - because "file 
/opt/local/lib/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so does not exist" so that can't be 
built - and webkit, which depends on libsoup, fails too.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
