SUPPORT ZINT
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The Zint project is committed to providing the open source community with encoding software for
|
|
all public domain barcode standards. For this we need access to the standard documentation and,
|
|
unfortunately, this is not free. Your donation will contribute towards the purchase of standard documents
|
|
from ANSI. Standards which we hope to add to Zint in this way include Aztec Mesas, Supercode,
|
|
Code One and many others.
|
|
|

QT FRONT END
|
|
------------
|
|
This package includes a Qt4 GUI front end. This feature is still under development but if you would
|
|
like to give it a try then here is how to get to it: You will need Qt4 and cmake to compile the code.
|
|
cd to the folder that contains this README file then...
|
|
|
|
mkdir 'build'
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make -j2
|
|
|
|
This will make libzint library and a Qt specific version of the library. To install these do the following
|
|
as root:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
You can then execute the Qt front end with
|
|
|
|
./frontend_qt4/QZint_frontend
|
|
|

THINGS TO DO
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in expanding the functionality of this package then here are a few
|
|
things which need to be done!
|
|
|
|
Frontend
|
|
--------
|
|
* Allow copying of generated barcodes to the clipboard with "Copy" button
|
|
* Allow dragging and dropping to external apps.
|
|
NOTE: Although I have tried to add these functions I have not been succesful in
|
|
making them useful. Therefore, although I would like to see this added,
|
|
I have abandoned this.
|
|
|
|
Packaging
|
|
---------
|
|
Binary packages are needed for distribution in the following formats
|
|
* RPMs for various Linux distros (.spec file now available thanks to Radist)
|
|
* Install binaries for MS Windows (MSVC and MinGW make files now included)
|
|
* Install binaries for Mac OSX
|
|
|
|
Translations
|
|
------------
|
|
Documentation is currently only in English. If you have the knowledge and the
|
|
time please consider translating into other languages.
|
|
|
|
Research
|
|
--------
|
|
The following standards would be welcomed in Zint but the full documentation has
|
|
not yet been found.
|
|
* DPD Code
|
|
* Italian Postal Code
|
|
|
|
Coming Soon
|
|
-----------
|
|
The next symbology to be added may be Dot Code A or ISS PosiCode
