The easiest way to configure compilation is to take advantage of the CMake utilities. You will
|
||
|
|
need to install CMake first. If no Qt libraries are installed then CMake will not attempt to
|
||
|
|
build the Zint Barcode Studio GUI. Similarly if libpng is not detected then CMake will not attempt
|
||
|
|
to compile PNG image support. This method is recommened in most cases, the notable exception
|
||
|
|
being MinGW.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once CMake is installed follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd build
|
||
|
|
cmake ..
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command line program can be accessed by typing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zint {options} -d {data}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notice that the data needs to be entered after all other options. Any options given after the
|
||
|
|
data will be ignored. The GUI can be accessed by typing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zint-qt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MakeFile Method:
|
||
|
|
MakeFiles are provided for some systems although this method is now deprecated. It compiles
|
||
|
|
and installs the library and CLI only. If you have installed Zint using this method before please
|
||
|
|
note that the binaries will now install to a different location than version 2.3.0 or earlier
|
||
|
|
(/usr/bin rather than /usr/local/bin and /usr/lib rather than /usr/local/lib). This makes
|
||
|
|
installation easier on Red Hat based systems (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora etc.) and on BSD-like systems
|
||
|
|
(FreeBSD, OpenBSD etc.) and is more correctly in line with the LSB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** UNINSTALL ANY PREVIOUS VERSION OF ZINT BEFORE USING THIS METHOD ***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To compile using this method simply run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If compiling on MinGW substitute the Makefile.mingw files for the default Makefiles in both the
|
||
|
|
/frontend and /backend folders.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MS Windows:
|
||
|
|
Compiling on Cygwin and MinGW are covered above. Compiling with MS Visual Studio is more involved!
|
||
|
|
Full instructions are currently not ready for publication but will be placed on the project website
|
||
|
|
as soon as possible.

Mac OSX:
|
||
|
|
Efforts are currently under way to ease compiling on OSX using the CMake method. It may be possible
|
||
|
|
to compile Zint using methods similar to those given above, but this has not been thoroughly tested
|
||
|
|
yet. If you have any success with compiling Zint on OSX then please get in touch. An install binary
|
||
|
|
for OSX is also in development.
