PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not relevant for this particular error. The problem is
that valac is not finding gexiv2.vapi. This isn't super well documented,
but valac 0.12 looks in the following directories for vapi files:
1. Any directories specified via --vapidir on the command line (in this
case, ".").
2. $PREFIX/share/vala-0.12/vapi, for every directory $PREFIX in
$XDG_DATA_DIRS.
3. $PREFIX/share/vala/vapi, for every directory in $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
If you haven't set the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, it
defaults to /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/. (See
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html).
Typically, if you've built and installed gexiv2 locally using the default
prefix (/usr/local), then gexiv2.vapi should be in
/usr/local/share/vala/vapi, and valac should find it. If you've used a
different prefix when configuring gexiv2, you probably need to add that
directory to XDG_DATA_DIRS.
Hope this helps!
