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.

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.

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.
